Why can't you just buy it via the web?

It means: Don't ever pay Vodacom up front.

Because it's not there.
That buy now takes your to the portal. From the portal the buy data bundle doesn't list those bundles.

Ah, gotcha.
No idea then. I don't support these sharks after they gave me a R4k OOB shark bill 10 years ago.

I guess these bundle prices don't exist.
I called but they told me the reason mine is so expensive is because I don't qualify. So I asked who qualifies can't answer that. So I said then it shouldn't be listed like that on the website they didn't want to agree or disagree...

What USSD string did you use to find this?

How the hell do you get to talk to a representative?
I've tried 082 135 but no luck.

Can anyone explain this 'Pay up front' option on their website to me? Why would I take 100Gb for R999 on a monthly recurring deal when I can pay once up front and get 120Gb for R349?

Does the 120gb bundle for R349 still exist? I'd love to get it for my Dad (provided it is not a 30 day bundle) but can't find it.

They removed it from the website after I complained. It was a pricing error.

The prepaid offerings of Vodacom seem quite terrible compared to what I get on Cell C.
I could not even find an option for any network voice bundles.

So much worse. Vodacom is milking prepaid users. The R349 for 400GB+400GB top up contract is basically prepaid so why can't prepaid clients pay that also or something similar.

My Dad was milked for thousands of Rands because he used to use his phone on data and out of bundle rates.
He's old school so never even bothered about it and after explaining, I don't think he still fully comprehends what I am saying.
I wonder how many people they scam like this.
