Cell C says that at will zero-rate its streaming platform ‘Black’ over the Easter weekend for current subscribers.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Wednesday (28 March), the company said that all Cell C customers, whether contract or prepaid, will benefit from this promotion, which kicks off from midnight on Thursday 29 March and closes at midnight on Monday 2 April.<\/p>\n
The operator said that browsing the platform has also been zero rated for customers on its network.<\/p>\n
However, clicking through to the betting platform and the ticketing service will be charged according to the customer\u2019s data plan.<\/p>\n
National data roaming is also not included in this promotion and Black customers that are on other networks will not benefit from the free data promotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that for many South Africans, getting access to content means that they need to use data. As a holiday treat, we are taking that worry away, giving people a chance to experience the content Black has on offer without using data,\u201d said Cell C CEO Jose Dos Santos.<\/p>\n
Cell C said that the promotional offer is only available on mobile and customers will need to have a positive airtime balance to benefit.<\/p>\n
“While there is no fair usage policy in place for this promotion, Cell C reserves the right to institute one if we detect high-levels of abuse,” it said.<\/p>\n
