Rain Offpeak uncapped

[Onizuka0701]

I was thinking of getting the off peak package for the month seeing as I am now home during those times.

Seems like adding the off peak package now would only activate it on the 1st of Jan, is this correct?

Yes

Ive gone through this recently.

If you have an existing rain simcard then yes , 1st Jan. If you take a new one ( mine came overnight) then its 7 days free data and then the offpeak rates kick in.

Don't understand this myself , in terms of loyalty , but there you go.

OP is talking of the 250 bucks option however that will only kick in on a new SIM card if it’s set up beforehand. If you don’t choose that option then after the 7 days it’s R50 a gig

Allready have a sim, just wanted to add the 250 option. But thanks, this confirms that I would only be able to activate that 1st of Jan

Try and see, it's possible it will be activated and you will be billed pro-rata

If you click to add it, it says changes will take affect from the 1st of Jan, don't need it for Jan so would be a waste if it isn't billed pro rata and I can't remove it

I tried their call Centre too. All I was told is that no one but no one is able to override this limitation. Hence had to get a new sim . Chucked the old one away.

Thats pretty sad, doubt I'd get a new one in the next few days seeing as Christmas and all.
