Vodacom airtime transfer question (semi-rant)

[hj2k_x]

If the actual transfer of topup airtime has been forbidden due to fraud or whatever, what about the transfer of money from one topup account to under, both under the same name?

Eg. You and your mom both have a topup135 contract on your mother's name. Can she transfer unused topup airtime that comes bundled every month to you? If not, why not??

What difference does it make if the contract-holder has two contracts with R135 airtime or one with R100 and one with R170, or one with R70 and one with R200 if, at the end of the day, the same amount will be paid by the same person every month?

I don't get it!

Because every single thing that every single network does is aimed at making as much money as possible, while providing as little service as possible. Thats why.

That is what I thought

It's probably because they know that someone who does not use his artime might transfer it. So by not letting you transfer unused airtime, their network is used less.

Yeah, I am sure it is to do with that. Not exactly fair. Especially because after you accrue 720 minutes or R720 airtime, any additional airtime is forfeited at the end of the month, despite the fact that you still have to pay for it

If you have a small amount can that be transferred. Say R10?

No.

So, no one has any other theories?

There is no logic to it, they are just trying to milk us for all we are worth??

 

[hj2k_x]

And now you cannot even use the bundled airtime to buy sms bundles. What a load of crap

 

[hj2k_x]

Any more word on this?

Like if I have two contracts under the same account and want to transfer airtime between them, why can I not???
