Just loaded a 3GB bundle for R399 on CellC that will only expire in a year and is on prepaid.

I bought a 3Gig/1 yr sim from Cell C for R399 and after 2weeks topped it up with another 3G hoping for a year but I get told that topups only last till the end of the following month.
 
I wanted to buy 1GB now and found that the discount is gone. What happened? Was it not suppose to be till April?
 
This promotion comes to an end on 6 April 2013. When must I cancel my bundle to avoid paying the original price? 31 March or 30 April?

I can't see the discount if I try to buy via *111#
Is there a special way of buying the discounted ad hoc data bundles?

I don't see it on *111#. Bought mine via the web portal - Type: Monthly recurring.

I see it on their site ja.
Doesn't that defy the "Ad Hoc" part. I don't want it to be recurring monthly, I'll buy it manually. Sometimes I have enough to carry over, then I don't want to buy. Or maybe I want to buy 2 times a month, what then?
FAIL to Voda

EDIT: If I take it on recurring, for how long does this go on then? Only up to April and then it automatically end or does it go on....and does it automatically change to a higher tariff after that??

After April it will revert to the old pricing, but I want to cancel before that happens.
 
I can cancel/deactivate on the web but I want to know when the best time will be.
 
They are probably hoping that some will forget to cancel and then get charge the higher rates after April
 
My R149 for 1GB promotion has been activated as of today (went to Nashua Mobile on Wednesday and asked them to switch me over). I've already set a reminder for myself to cancel it in April (dealing with Vodacom after all) but I've only got one question...... What happened to my night-owl?

Normally I dial *111# to get a very broad idea of how much data is left in my data bundle. After requesting a balance it would show me how much I've got left in normal and night owl data. After switching over to this promotion it's not telling me how much night-owl I have left.

Does this mean I don't have any night-owl on this promotion? If so where exactly did I completely miss reading anything in the MyBroadband article relating to lack of night-owl?

PS
Just as a heads up.... A couple of weeks ago, when a friend of mine upgraded her iPhone4s to an iPhone5, a very friendly salesperson at the VODACOM STORE in the EAST RAND MALL told her about this promotion. She was excited at the prospect of getting a little extra data per month and jumped at the opportunity, especially when this very friendly salesperson told her you will continue to only pay the R99 for 500MB until you decide to cancel........ It's a shame that I'm going to have to tell her the truth when I see her again next weekend.

On the other hand, strangely enough, Nashua Mobile told me immediately that this was only a promotion and that I would be paying the old price once it ended. So kudos to them! :)
 
The following ad-hoc data bundle discounts became available on 15 December 2012, and will remain available until 6 April 2013.

Is this promo coming to an end or can we expect cheaper ad-hoc bundles? :whistle:
