Cell C has announced its year-end data promotion - two data packages offering Internet access for about R9 per GB that will run for about three month.
The prepaid offering, Giga 200, will give customers a 50GB peak data bundle that can be used from 6am to midnight, and a 150GB midnight data bundle that can be used from midnight to 6am. The Giga 200 prepaid SIM-only package will cost R1 799 once-off with a total of 200GB of inclusive data, valid for 365 days - which works out to R9 per GB.
Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig says there was customer demand for a prepaid option allowing large file downloads and the performance of system and application updates during the night. The latest product, he says, will offer more data flexibility.
In conjunction with the prepaid product, Cell C is introducing Giga 20, a 12-month contract promotion that will provide customers with a total of 20GB of data to use each month. Giga 20 includes a 5GB peak data bundle that can be used from 6am to midnight and a 15GB midnight data bundle that can be used from midnight to 6am.
The Giga 20 contract package will cost R189 per month and will be available at all service providers and Cell C franchise stores. The inclusive monthly data will be loaded on the first of every month and will be valid for that month. The first month's subscription and inclusive data will be pro-rated, and thereafter the full rate will apply.
Both Giga promotions kick off next week - on 8 November - and will run until the end of January next year.
Cell C says when using either of the new Giga packages, the data usage will automatically switch between using the peak data bundle and the midnight data bundle at midnight each day. "If customers run out of either of the bundles, they will be charged an out-of-bundle rate of 15c/MB.
"Subscribers who select the Top-Up option will be charged for out of bundle usage only if they have recharged with airtime. This option is convenient for customers who wish to control their data spend and don't want any surprises at the end of the month."
The Giga promotions are only valid on the Cell C network and roaming does not apply.
In a recent interview, Knott Craig said this latest data promotion would be the last for 2012 from Cell C. "I think we've done enough, for now."
