Vodacom gift fine print details

Wait, does this promo mean that if I get a new Vodacom sim today, I'll get 100MB of data or whatever gift they decide to send every single day untill the promo ends? & all I have to do is send an SMS for 50c to redeem it? Mmmh, I wonder, what are the chances of all ur gifts being the same?
 
Vodacom said in its press statement that gifts can also be sent to customers who are on networks other than Vodacom.

However, to redeem these gifts, subscribers from other networks would need to switch to Vodacom.

:sick:

I would not want to change over to Vodacom for such tiny rewards (100MB / 500 SMS / 1hr talk time). Maybe if Vodacom gave free GB's I would consider moving back :D
 
Perhaps I'm being particularly dense -- but is the person who sends the gifting SMS donating the actual airtime/data etc. from their own balance, or is Vodacom actually donating it out of the goodness of their hearts? In other words, is this a fancy way of dressing up an Airtime (or data bundle) Transfer, or an actual freebie from VC?

It's an actual freebie from VC.
 
So i get a gift from someone.
Turns out to be 100MB data (only available till midnight tonight - ie 3hrs)
So, I thought I would give vodacom a try once again.

I send text back to confirm acceptance of the gift
I get a text confirming 100MB has been loaded

Try connect to internet - browser message "out of funds"
Remove sim from modem - check balance via phone 0.00 data available

Call voda help - after a long wait & leaping through a whole lot of hoops I speak to a consultant to tells me the data has been loaded.

Replace sim into modem check balance 0.00MB

SPECTACULAR FAIL VODACOM !!

If ever there was something that is simply not worth the effort - this was it.

Hmmm you do know that these bundles/gifts does not get loaded like normal data bundles right? The bundle does get loaded and you will be able to check the balance of these bundles under *111*60# and choose option 5 and choose option 5 again to see what is your bundle balance.

You might have thought it wasn't loaded when it was indeed loaded..... Try again it does work... :-)
