Technically, the promo was extended as it carried on running....

But YAY nevertheless
 
My contract is coming to an end this month. So Im going to move to per send price plan (R1.20 per minute) then move onto this promo. Actually good value for money, hopefully it's not just a promo.

They will no doubt keep extending unless the other operators increase their prepaid pricing. With only the R1.20 rate, Vodacom would experience massive churn with myself included.

It is rather adorable how you think we will allow you to churn. We dont take kindly to churning ..... churning not allowed you see.

Well for me the sad part is that even if they don't extend the promotion, I won't move elsewhere. The only operator I am interested in is Telkom, but they have a long way to increase the quality of their network

After 2 years being stuck with Cell C, my last 10 weeks with Vodacom has been AWESOME! VODA coverage here in Slummies is superb. I will say that data in my suburb is VERY slow (not even a 1MB at peak times) but I am on wifi at work, home and in the car so the 100mb data bundle I buy every month remains largely unused. I only use Voda for voice.

I would like to give MTN a try, but their spam SMS'es are insane - my tablet MTN prepaid sim gets bombared with sms's and I really don't need that BS on my voice sim.

Ockie - you can keep your claws in me - staying put on Voda as long as it is 79c or less ;)
