Can anyone fill me in on the 20GB once-off @R499 special?

1. how does this work?
2. How long do i have to use the 20GB?
3. I dont have a 3G modem so I will have to buy one
3.1 is there a specific one i need to buy?

4. i have no idea of the coverage in my area, how do i find out if i will have a good signal before hand?


thanks

thanks got the coverage map

hmmm if i understand correctly you have ONE MONTH to use all of your 20GB?
"Promotional MyGig 20 bundles purchased will be valid until the last day of the next calendar month." ???


furthermore i need to buy a 3G stick and would like to know which model to buy please.

I think the Vodafone K4605 is the best modem available at the moment.

The best modems are Huawei. Is this one of those? Vodafone has a confusing model number system that assigns similar codes to different manufacturers.

Yes K4605 debranded = Hauwei E372 = R1400(vodashop)

Also worth considering for half the cost would be the E367 = R700 (8ta)
Atm the networks are behind what the E372 is capable of.
 
Is it possible to get a data sim on a prepaid 20GB bundle? Alternatively, is it possible to load the prepaid bundle on my existing TopUp 400 package, and then to get a data sim for that package?
 
I called Vodacom 082111 today and the 20gig bundle is no longer being sold. Apparently there is a glitch in the system and they charged customers the data used instead of deducting it from the bundle.
 
I called them again about getting another bundle but they just informed me that it's only for TopUp and Prepaid that there was a glitch on the 20gig bundle. Since I am on contract I was able to get it :)

Does not make sense. I'll check where this story originated. For sure nothing from our side. It's available to all customers till the 9th.

Just buy it via USSD or SMS.

There was a communication sent out on the 8th January saying " Due the technical issues, the Mofaya Summer MyGig 20 Broadband Standard offer for Prepaid & Top Up has been placed on hold"

This could be what is being referred to.
