Hey

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but..

I want to know how do I go about buying my own Unshaped from WebAfrica? I am currently buying from someone else, but want to do it by myself now. I see there is a set up cost and a monthly cost. Do I just click on the order button and wait? Or does it require any setting up etc? Like technical stuff?

Thanx for ur help :)
 
explain buying from someone else? All you need to do is email or phone them and provide your banking details and what not .... they in turn will give you all the technical specs and help you set up.
 
eish Oom, is jy blind ... sy wil nie die 'prepaid route' gaan nie :rolleyes:

:p:p
 
Basically what I mean by buying, is that someone else is a reseller and he sells Unshaped to some friends thru WA. I basically wanna do the same now. Just I wont be selling to other people.

If you don't want to resell the account, why do you want a reseller account? It's more costly than a normal unshaped account....
 
afaik you just click 'order' and they will contact you... think via email. I order the 7GB IS shaped months ago and don't recall that I had to do anything different. And as for the setup cost, where did you see that? It states 'free' unless I'm looking in the wrong place :D
This is no "ad" for WA but 2 months ago when I didn't need my WA account anymore, I just emailed them and they disabled it. When I want it again... like when the series in the States starts up again :D , I will activate again.

Just checked this thread out and Im wondering, is it easier to go this route if I am not planning to sell to other people if I make my own account? Will it be cheaper? Coz there are no monthly fees?

Yes it will be cheaper, since you use the bandwidth which you need and top up as you require.

With a normal unshaped account you can use your bandwidth and also just buy prepaid, so you'll have let's say 3GB bandwidth (and pay per month for it) and if that's finished, you buy more.

It's up to you what you choose however ;)

If you don't want to sell to other people just get a standard account. There aren't any monthly fees for prepaid bandwidth, you just pay per GB for what you use. Might be worth looking at semi-shaped bandwidth from Axxess depending on what you want to do, its much cheaper per GB than unshaped.
 
Thank you all :) Ur help is much appreciated! I think I am going to go with the prepaid option, as I am not going to be selling to anyone else. :)
 
One last thing regarding the steup of the prepaid...Do they assign u a username and password? My router at home home is set up to Pure Bridged mode coz I play WoW and use Unshaped for that. So I switch between the two accounts for when I play and when I just browse on the net. Do I just delte the old username and password in the dial-up window and replace it with the new one?

Yes they'll give you a new username and password so you can either change the details in an existing dialup connection or make a new connection if you still want to use the old details.
 
/thread hijack

that WA prepaid local only .... can it be used on the news servers?

/end hijack :D
 
I purchased the Unshaped from WA yesterday, using a credit card and they responded saying I must email a copy of my ID as well as the front and back of the credit card. My prepaid has not yet been loaded and I responded to the email yeasterday.

Does anyone know how long it takes before they verify the account and load the bandwidth?
