Vodacom data rates to drop in Jan?

[Pixual]

Just before I bought my Virgin SIM card for its cheaper data (almost free and out of contract) I asked my service provider, NashuaMobile to get me some info on what package I could get for wireless broadband.

It only took them five days to get back to me, but today I got a call from one of their people who told me that I should be looking at the R350 x 24 month option which would give me 500MB's of data per month, plus a free modem and <gosh!> free installation plus a laptop bag.

I asked what the out of bundle rate per meg was and he told me R1.50. Plus, he said, it was coming down in January. He was prepared to give me this in writing from Nashua.

I smell something rotten in the toolshed. Could this be true or is it just an overly enthusiastic sales pitch?

So errr...how is he trying to sell you a R350 p/m contract and at the same time saying the rates will drop in jan [isn't that like shooting yourself in the foot?] .....

I think he was referring to the out of bundle data rates. But of course, my point is that I don't want to be tied to the contract.

Buy the card cash and get prepaid bundles. You only score the card for the sacrifice of signing for 24 months

I agree. If you are worried about the out of bundle rates then also have a prepaid card MTN - R100=100MB lasting for 1 month. VM R.50c/MB.

I am not sure but it seems as if you are being told about VC because MTN does not have a 500MB bundle. VC does for R350.

Check if you are in a 3g area as well.

Well I guess it's up to Nashua to stand up to their promise then

My apologies, I do believe he was referring to the Vodacom data packages, not MTN.

Perhaps the admins can change the title of the original post?

I've asked that the RPH assist in this regard
