My dad is getting an iphone 4s 16 GB contract tomorrow. Sadly Cell C's reception at his house is awful so Vodacom was the only real option.
He doesn't really use SMS and the phone will be on wifi at the house and office, plus he's not a major nethead so I think either data package should be fine for him.
Smart Standard (total R469pm)
300 SMS (who cares)
130 minutes any time
60 vodacom
60 weekend
300 mb data
My main concern is him using up those minutes as he's not sure how much time he spends on the phone every month. And then what would the rate be after that...it's like R2 a minute right?
My dad is prepaid and prefers the idea of topping up, hence the sales lady suggested...
Top Up315 (R529pm)
250mb data
+ R315 airtime
Anyone know the rates for this package? If it's also R2 to non Vodacom then we're looking at minutes which aren't that far off the other package...perhaps even less. And 50 mb less data. And no free SMS.
So aside from not being surprised with a bill over and above the contract, I'm struggling to see why this package is R70 more than the other one.
This is what has me really confused. Please advise so I can advise my dad tomorrow.
