2 GB R349 PM

Out of Bundle = .30 Per MB

The data bundles are still far too expensive! Is there a prepaid option at the out of bundle rate or is this only available on contract? Source?

Looking on the Telkom site I don't see it listed as a service offering , do you perhaps have a link that is not yet published on their site that I can view this at ?
 
"Telkom Does 3G" yes, but what do they do to it?

I like the out of bundle costs - that alone would make it worth moving across. No need to get quite so stressed if you just need to check email at the end of the month.

@ConsiderThis - It seems that Telkom will launch a service without advertising it widely - they offered me WiMax when they couldn't give me ADSL, but there was no reference to it anywhere on their website (or anywhere else for that matter) until about a month later. I reckon they like to ease into things...

Interesting, shaped or unshaped, and ditto where did you find this info, also why did you post it in MBB's Vodacom forum [General Broadband discussions would be better suited]? - the two companies are going through a painful divorce...
 
I can forward you the mail I got.

I went to Telkom Direct Shop today but the don't have any details as yet.
 
Well its much cheaper than existing offerings from other providers. Lets just hope they get more coverage quickly or rather lets hope the other providers drop their prices quickly so we can rather support them...
 
Interesting :"Telkom brings you the latest HSDPA and HSUPA wireless network, the network supports devices able of 7.2Mbps high-speed downlink packet access and 2.4Mbps high-speed uplink packet access."
 
R349 for 2GB - that is the same as the MTN and Vodacom 3G contracts right? So much for competition. I guess Telkom wins on Out-of-Bundle costs though. Pity it's still a ripoff.

Wonder if we get free local BW as well? *hopes

EDIT: Vodacom and MTN are both either R449 or R389 ... dependent on whether it's a contract or an add-on ... I'm guessing the Telkom deal can be an add-on to like your home phone line. Granted, Telkom is more attractive (by R40) but, as I said .. it's still quite a rip off.

Also with Voda you pay an additional R50 for 3.6. With telkom you get 7.2 at no extra cost.

Does anybody knows in which MyBB forum we should post regarding Telkom 3G?

good question. Maybe it is time to make one 3G forum with all the providers as sub-forums. Who do we have? Telkom, Vodacom, MTN, Cell-C, and M-web as a reseller. Any more?
