Telkom's new mobile data transfer tool tested

Telkom recently announced that it would implement functionality on its network to facilitate the transfer of mobile data between users.

The mobile operator also said it would increase the validity of data bundles up to 500MB in size.

My concern with data transfer is as follows :

The limitation of Data transfer is not welcome. If i bought 10gigs Data I should be free to send to who i like.
I should be able to send it to many at once.

Eg. I must have the choice to send at least 75 % of the data.

Can send data that I get with my contract?

Nice was promo data or normal data?I get 10gb free promo data with contract I took out on black Friday.

Anybody figured out yet why night surfer data don't carry over?

 

[cr@zydude]

Really looking forward to using this. I get more data on my phone contract than I need. Now I can easily use it in my home router without moving my sim.

The reason there are limits is to prevent people reselling data as a business. It happens....

It seems like the transferred data ( from contract sim) has a time limitation. Transferred 1GB daily for the past four days. All data expires on recipient's phones on 01/01/2019.

 

[donanicky]

The expiry date doesn't change, it will be the same as the sender's expiry date.

Actually i was looking at that exactly.

I take out a huge contract for 100 gigs.
Then sell 1 gig at a time to customers who want it.

I'm assuming Mo' Nice data bundles are not transferable?

Icasa failed to detail the rules for data transfer.

I transferred my promo black friday data to my friends telkom mobile contract, had no problems.

Next step would be transfer the data I got on my mifi deal sim, which is 10gb montly, then I can transfer data to myself and my wife.

Well, make pricing scheme linear, it will be no reason to re-sell.

 

[Wasabee!]

I can see fraud where staff transfer data to their personal phones. Bam then it's HR and dismissed.

Can't find the option?
