Cell C<\/a> has announced the launch of a new prepaid and TopUp product called Supacharge, offering unlimited on-net calls and free SMSes and data.<\/p>\n

The Supacharge product gives Cell C prepaid and Contract TopUp subscribers unlimited Cell C to Cell C anytime voice calls, valid for 30 days from date of recharge, when recharging with R500 or more.<\/p>\n

The new product kicks off from 4 February.<\/p>\n

Cell C customers that take on the new R500 unlimited voice offering will also receive 1000 free Cell C to Cell C anytime SMSes, and 1000MB of data to use as they please. The additional SMSes and data will also be valid for 30 days.<\/p>\n

The R500 uncapped offer is the top-end of a range of new tariffs, products and value-added offers that Cell C is introducing.<\/p>\n

All prepaid airtime vouchers – starting from R5 through to R500 and over – will now come standard with additional Cell C to Cell C minutes and Cell C to Cell C SMSes ,as well as additional data.<\/p>\n

The bonuses will depend on the value of the voucher – the more subscribers top-up, the higher the bonus.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving voice, SMS and data standard on a single prepaid voucher is a Cell C innovation and has proved to be a popular offering amongst our prepaid base. We are pleased to be able to make the concept more widely available on all our prepaid vouchers,\u201d said Cell C CEO, Alan Knott-Craig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis prepaid and Contract TopUp offering will be part of Cell C\u2019s standard product offering and is not merely a promotional offer. We know that customers are always delighted when we launch special offers, but we also know sometimes they want some continuity. This one will be around for a while,\u201d the CEO said.<\/p>\n
