If I needed broadband access at a sporting event to upload photos, is there a better deal ATM than this R50/150mb per day?

you can purchase the 90 minute data bundle for R25 ....but here a tip still buy the R50 a day unlimited data bundle(which lasts 24hours) you get normal speeds up tp 150 mbs there after its slower:love::love:

Thanks but 90 minutes may be a little short of the time I need.

Is activation for the R50/24hrs instant?

Yes mate. The activation is pretty much instant..you just purchase the bundle from 141 or 555 and once the purchase is confirmed by the voice prompts , you wait a few seconds and you will receive an sms with instructions on how to activate the bundle. You then just dial the number in the sms and your 24 hr access window will begin. Does anyone know how to purchase the 90 minute bundle tho cos the last time I checked it was not an option on 141 or 555?

According to Mtn Service Provider website:

*The One Day internet bundle is available to MTN PayAsYouGo customers now and will be available to MTN Contract customers soon. The MTN 90 Minute internet bundle will be available at a later date.

If I have a prepaid sim card ( pay as you go I think ), can I pop it into a Huawei E220? If so, how would I configure it?

Nothing to configure. Load the 24hr uncapped on the sim. Insert the sim card into modem and do your thang.

Stupid question, but does it matter what "brand" ( so to speak ) of modem I use?

I have a Vodafone Huawei E220 I found in my backpack I used for work which used a vodacom sim card?
