Vodacom black friday 2023

I'm pleasantly surprised that RAM actually delivered my router on the first attempt.

Although they had to phone a few times for directions. It is unbelievable that they don't use Google maps.

When I re-apply next week I will ask them if they can use a decent courier company. Even if I have to pay R100 or a streetwise two.

Can you apply again? I know once they cancel an upgrade/new line they make it super difficult to apply again

Well they screwed up not me. Will see what happens next week. The dude I spoke to says everything is still available and the contract will start 1st Dec and current one ends 30 Nov.

BTW it will be my 3rd attempt I was not declined by Voda at all, just the freaking k*k SkyNet Couriers

Try and apply at a store or something maybe, but yeah had the same kak with a courier thing 2 years ago.

Unfortunately, MTN disappointed me by with those pathetic deals.

So, did Telkom.

Will probably just cancel my contract. Don't really need it as I have fibre. Just needed a backup as I work from home. Not going through the whole freaking thing dealing with SkyNet again.

I'm impressed with the B535 router, speed test are much better than on my ZTE MF286 router.

Trying to figure out pros and cons of each router offered. Compared to the Huawei B535 router does the Alcatel LINKHUB LTE cat7 Home Station have a built-in lithium battery? That would be handy. It's not very clear in the spec? e.g 8800mAh etc.

Please show us the difference

In rural areas, I get an average of 30Mbps on my ZTE, but I get close to 50Mbps on the B535.

The one I got doesn't have a battery.

The Alcatel is very small. Just a bit wider than a 500m energy drink can.

Do you think that the deal can work on the approved 5G router (network).

Sorry, I have no idea.

Can anyone please advise if the R399-900GB and the R349-700GB deals work on any device (doesn’t require an approved router)?

 

[STORMERSFAN]

Any cheap 2gig bf specials floating around..don't need the 5gig package

Works on any device.

Ad does not state that it requires an approved router.

The guy at the Vodacom Shop told me the opposite, but then I went to the online chat on the Vodacom website and the consultant confirmed that it works on any device. Thanks

I contacted via Facebook and even after I insisted that it should work in any device, the agent said it only works in a router, cannot be used in a Smartphone.

Not sure who to believe at this point then.
