Vodacom Sim Only contract Warning

[beeskuiken]

Be aware, the Vodacom Sim Only contracts have different T&C's compared to their normal contracts. e.g a Smart S contract vs a Smart S sim only contract.

In particular this:
7. Unused minutes, SMS and data will not be carried over. Customers will forfeit any minutes, SMS or data not used in the month of allocation.

This, in my opinion, is a significant difference (which they don't warn you about). Significant enough to not allow the use of the same name (eg Smart S).

Explains why Voda's SIM only contracts are cheaper than MTN's. Instead of going SIM-only, go prepaid.

MTN's prepaid data only lasts one month now.
