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	5.00	4.70	6.00%
Vodacom	HiFiCorp	Yes	Jun-11	12.00	10.90	9.17%

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.
