Cell C is tackling two of the “major\u00a0issues faced by data customers” – out-of-bundle rates and mobile data validity.<\/p>\n

Cell C CEO Jose Dos Santos said the company will reduce OOB rates for prepaid customers on its lowest tariff plan to 15c per MB – effective 1 October 2017.<\/p>\n

“Our 66c prepaid product already offers the lowest flat call rate of 66c per minute, now we have extended the value to the lowest out-of-bundle data charge available,” he said.<\/p>\n

Prepaid customers can dial *147# and select option 1 to migrate to this plan.<\/p>\n

“On the postpaid side, customers can take advantage of any of the Connector plans that cap the out-of-bundle data rate to 15c per MB.”<\/p>\n

Data validity<\/span><\/h3>\n

“The second challenge Cell C is addressing is the expiry of unused data, by allowing customers to extend the validity of their data bundles by purchasing a new bundle before the current one expires,” said Cell C.<\/p>\n

From 20 September, customers can extend the validity of their data bundles by purchasing another data bundle.<\/p>\n

On the 10GB, 20GB and 30GB data bundles, Cell C has also extended the validity period from 30 days to 90 days.<\/p>\n

“On the contract side, and effective from October 2017, SmartData customers will automatically have unused data carried over into the next month – effectively extending the validity from 30 days to 60 days.”<\/p>\n
