Yes the headline is true. And the best part is that this is a prepaid deal that is valid for 12 months!

The Prepaid Internet bundle is priced at R 1800 for 120GB which consists of a 60GB package for anytime use, as well as a 60GB Midnight Surfer bundle for use between 12am and 5am, users can purchase as many bundles as necessary. “This offer was launched as a result of requests from numerous subscribers for larger bundles that could be used over a longer period of time, which will suit students as well as heavy Internet users who want to control their spending or do not yet qualify for monthly contracts,” says Maharaj, the current CEO of 8ta.

8·ta also provides users with a ‘safety net’ to check their balances on the self-service portal and via USSD and make out of bundle purchase decisions in real-time, using the redirect functionality.

“Once a subscriber has been provisioned with the Pre-paid PSB Data promo rate plan, they can load airtime onto their SIM cards and then purchase the Once-Off Internet 60GB promo bundle at R1800 via USSD by dialling *180#,” says Maharaj. 

This Bundle will be sold for a limited period only. Sufficient notice will be provided prior to the expiry of the promotion, upon which users will be migrated to the normal Pre-paid PSB rate plan.

“No modems are bundled with the promotion offers and customers will have the freedom to use existing modems or buy a modem that suits their needs. Data modems with up to speeds of 7.2Mb per second and 21Mb per second will be available in store. Users will receive free call-out and support services with every purchase of a 3G data modem,” Maharaj adds.
