Registration on 8ta website

[dabbler]

I have recently bought an iPad and I am looking for a way that I can convert airtime to data, bought fom FNB. On the 8ta website there is the option to register (not sure what for). If I register on this site will I be offered a service where I can convert airtime to data? Thx. I'm using prepaid.

Should be that way. Beware though even though you have R150, when you try convert it, you'll be like R147. Not everything goes through 8ta.com. Alternatively dial *180#, quick easy free.

If you register, you will receive all the ads and specials that you read in yesterday's newspapers, or were included in your last telephone account

But will it give me the option to purchase data bundles? I have a prepaid 8ta sim.

No, you have got to do this with the SIM in a phone. AFAIK only Vodacom has this facility, and it works well, but 8ta are a bit behind

Oh. My bad. Didn't see that part.

That's quite simply not true. If you register, you can redeem airtime vouchers and buy data bundles.

Also, I registered about a month ago and am yet to receive any spam.

Seriously, where did you get your information from?

On an iPad?

Registering on a iPad is a bit of a mission. Since the registration process sends you an SMS to make sure you are who you say you are, you'll need to take the Sim out and stick it in a normal phone during the process. Once you've done that, however, you should be good to go (my sim has stayed in my iPad ever since).
