Vodacom prepaid data prices slashed

You're thinking of postpaid once-off. This specific question was about TopUp.

missed that, but still, why so many hoops on postpaid to access the specials, it's not exactly a user friendly approach

also I don't think I've seen anything of this promotion outside of myBB from a marketing perspective

Jannie, thanks for this! I'm on TopUp - can you confirm how I can get these prices / bundles as I've still been paying the "normal" prices over USSD for the last 3 months (wasn't aware there were new prices available via a different channel).

If you choose recurring you get the cheaper prices. But I believe the 20gig isn't available to contract.

As per Jannie's earlier post.
All the normal channels, .coza, .mobi, shops, Call Centres, etc. Not USSD though.

FWIW I also only use the USSD option as it's very easy and convenient...go figure.

Am I then able to purchase a bundle at the "new" prices once off, or do I have to sign up to some form of recurring contract?

USSD is not an option for a lot of tablet and 3G router users. Unfortunately Jannie seems unable or unwilling (who knows?) to tell us why the prepaid promotional bundles cannot be purchased through any other channel other than USSD, thus alienating a large proportion of the potential market for these promotional bundles. One can only deduce that this is done on purpose.
 
All does not seem well. Has anybody else found that they appear to have gone through a data bundle exceptionally quickly?

I've used my 500MB up in less than a week, and I haven't changed my habits on my phone, I usually buy a 250MB bundle that lasts 3 weeks on average.

I can't say for sure yet, but I know what you mean -- the usage on mine seems unusually high too...

Have you got a basic understanding how a 2G/3G network operate?

Do you know what a MSC is? VLR? Media Gateway?

Then I will explain it to you.

No, I don't, but for the benefit of others who don't either, please explain why a Vodacom SIM could always use more data then a Cell-C one.

We have compared Vodacom & CellC sims at the office, Vodacom always uses more data.
