Unlimited calling shootout in South Africa — Priced from R199

Melon Mobile offers the cheapest month-to-month unlimited calling and SMS plan in South Africa, with MTN and FNB also giving unlimited calling for under R400.

Melon Mobile, the digital-focused mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), launched its uncapped calling plans shortly after its roaming partner MTN introduced the disruptive SuperFlex line-up in September 2023.

Vast majority of businesses are not on Whatsapp yet. Good luck calling transunion, LexisNexis, attorneys etc. on WA.

This is lies. It is not uncapped. It is limited minutes. I bought the package and was scammed. I am very disappointed with Melon mobile

Maybe stop using your smartphone as a call center?

Hope Melon sees this, bro.

I am not using my cellphone as a call centre you idiot. I am raising the concern of false advertising. If something is advertised as uncapped then surely it should be uncapped

No that's not a given.

I have the R199 package for my gran. 750min and 5GB is more than enough for her so I am pretty happy with the package.
I can imagine if you are running a business from that phone you would use up 750min very quickly, but this package is not really made for you.

Completely misleading.

"Uncapped minutes" != 750 minutes

We went though this already. If there is a cap then it cannot be uncapped. FUP, yes, but how do you slow down minutes? You cannot.

False advertising by melon

 

[W@P]

Ja I signed up for one of their R199 packages. Selle me a 750min package and if that is what I want I will take it. Don't tune me its uncapped or some other BS.

Screaming for justice did the job!

Thanks, Kerishni!

Looks like that is a no from them. Only new sim sign ups can get the superflex it seems. Kak style.
