Cell C - dual payment system for the same service.

How can Cell C debit personal airtime when I do have their WhatsApp bundle and make and receive WhatsApp calls? Is that not regarded as a dual deduction for the same service?

Dear Marthinus,

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. Please note that our WhatsApp bundles are designed to cover data usage for WhatsApp text messages, voice notes, and media sharing. However, WhatsApp voice and video calls use standard data rates when they fall outside the bundle’s allocation or when the bundle was not active at the time of use.

Regards,

To set your Out-of-Bundle Spend Control: Dial *147#, then select:

Option 99 – More
Option 9 – My Account
Option 4 – Out-of-Bundle Spend Control (set your limit)

This will stop your airtime from being used whenever your data gets depleted.

Regards,
