In Malaysia, I remember that the concept of getting $29 for a $30 prepay Maxis card is not foreign. Whats better is to see the shops competing for your business by offering the same or lower. It is good value for money for us consumers in light of the insane calling prices by the telcos. 89c per minute for a Vodafone mobile to other mobiles? *faints*

The new convenience store opened on Symonds Street (beside Pita Pit on Symonds, where the medical lab used to be) called City Star Convenience store is offering $20 Vodafone prepay cards for only $19 and a 20% discount on calling cards such as EasyCall, Yabba, Superbuzz and much more. That means, technically, you get 20% more calling time and this is even better than the 10% extra that the calling card providers offer if you top up with them directly.

So what about those of you who are not on Vodafone? All is not lost. UMSA’s sponsor , Midcity Lotto & Newsagent offers similar discounts to 2Degrees and Telecom reload. Check our sponsor page for address details.

No additional surcharge calling from Vodafone mobiles

 

Also, with the Superbuzz calling card, you can call from Vodafone mobile without additional surcharge of calling from a mobile. This is convenient if you’re travelling or do not want to pay additional for a landline number. As far as I know, only Yabba calling card offers similar service to Telecom mobile customers.
