Cell C announced today (31 July 2012) the extension of its existing postpaid and prepaid data promotions. Initially launched to run until 31 July 2012, Cell C customers will now be able to take advantage of the offers until 31 October 2012.<\/p>\n

The company has also lowered the price of its entry-level 500MB data offer from R49 to R45, which also includes a free 7.2Mbps speedstick.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat our customers want is affordable, high quality data services. Our promotional data packages offer customers data at very competitive in- and out-of-bundle rates,\u201d said Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur in-bundle rate remains at the rock bottom 5 cents per MB, and we have reduced our out of bundle rate from 39 cents to a much more competitive 15 cents per MB,\u201d says Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig.<\/p>\n

Knott-Craig says customers can expect more exciting announcements in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
