Discounted airtime for your cell phone – where’s the best price
Discounted airtime for your cell phone – where’s the best price
It�s been a while since I updated my �Buying Airtime Calculator� calculator (Feb 2009), so I decided to do another Bing search (anyone noticed that I�m avoiding Google?). Truth-be-told, I was spurred to update the calculator after I saw a Tweet from @HifiCorp: �Now you can talk for more while paying less with our discount prepaid airtime offers! http://bit.ly/l2Q3Zz�. The link takes you to a very large pdf file � I�ve snipped the great pricing:
Or in tabular form from the calculator here:

| Vodacom | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 12.00 | 10.90 | 9.17% |
| Vodacom | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 29.00 | 26.90 | 7.24% |
| Vodacom | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 55.00 | 49.90 | 9.27% |
| Vodacom | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 110.00 | 99.90 | 9.18% |

| MTN | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 30.00 | 28.50 | 5.00% |
| CellC | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 5.00 | 4.60 | 8.00% |
| CellC | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 10.00 | 9.30 | 7.00% |
| CellC | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 25.00 | 22.70 | 9.20% |
| CellC | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 35.00 | 30.80 | 12.00% |
| CellC | HiFiCorp | Yes | Jun-11 | 50.00 | 45.50 | 9.00% |
Download the updated calculator which also lists the outlets that I could find here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/l6bq6ioa44wwl7q/BuyingAirtimeCalculatorJune2011.xls
Anyone notice that they don�t list the new provider 8ta? Do they even sell 8ta airtime?
That�s not just a question �out of the blue�� I�m getting suspicious about why GoogleAdsense suspended my account almost immediately after I posted this article on 8ta�s �special�: �I knew there had to be a catch with that 8ta deal for a Blackberry for R90 per month.... with free calls to a landline number�.
8ta was an advertiser on my blog � in fact the questions that I received were from readers asking about �my ad� on �my blog site�.
Since Google Adsense will not tell me the reason(s) for the suspension I will continue to speculate � and believe that this is the reason.
