Telkom launches new WhatsApp bundles

Telkom has launched new chat data bundles that can be used on eight messaging apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, Viber, Line, Threema, and Facebook Messenger.

Why can't you just sell me 5gb for R59 and call it a day like cellc does?

 

[Ockie]

Does this include sending videos, voice calling and sending other attachments because if not, what is the point of having a 2GB option. You will never burn through that with just text.

No thanks

Spotify bundle?

Makes more sense to just get a 3 +3 GB = R49 Telkom LTE bundle (or 7.5 + 7.5 - R99) and you can use it on WhatsApp or anything else on your smartphone.

Or a bigger combo used in a router at home & send some Telkom data to a 2nd SIM in the phone for use when out & about - exactly what I plan on doing from next month.

Cell C still cheaper for whatsapp bundle

R2/GB from Cell C. Really why would I pay normal bundle prices for restricted usage?

Mybroadband please test this bundles I brought 250MB for R15 yesterday (31days validation) I can't access Telegram when I open the App it plays this trick "Telegram then Connecting then Telegram" is clear you can't connect to telegram they said it support Facebook Messenger it doesn't I can't send simple text via Messenger it keeps saying "Sending" forever I can't call my contacts via Messenger the call won't connect at all the only working App is WhatsApp text go through calls connect and ring
I don't care about WeChat, Line, Viber and Signal but Facebook Messenger and Telegram is important to me worse calling 135 you can't get human being agent is chatbot option only
Please help us by testing it tlhe mybroadband journalists

I just tested Cell C (currently 2nd SIM on my phone) - if I call it, it gets ended immediately & a USSD fails.

But it's a Home Connecta Flexi SIM, so maybe other packages will work on Cell C with that number.
