Where should I buy my prepaid airtime to make some excellent savings?

This Duck was chatting up a goose the other day on his cell. Things started getting interesting. When suddenly the *beep was heard. The dreaded boop, boop, boop signalling you are about to run out of airtime. I tried to speed up the convo and try to get as much in before the inevitable cut of the line. Another goose lost. But as my cousin Jeffrey always says, there are always other fish in the sea. Or as my cousin Sid The Fish always says, there are plenty of humans on the land.  Airtime is one of this Ducks biggest expenses, so he decided to do a little research on the best place to get prepaid Airtime. I'm an investigative duck like that. 

After checking out the local offerings, I found that Pep Cell has probably the best savings on offer.

So, with larger airtime purchases. One can get a saving of about 10 per cent. With the average cellphone bill in SA sitting at about R400 a ten per cent saving, translates into money that can be used elsewhere. Hey it isnt going to help pay off your bond, but its a start. 

The bottom line: If you have a prepaid account, and you want to recieve a reasonable discount on your prepaid bills, then buying bulk amounts of airtime from PepCell is a good option. Just pop in during your weekly shopping rounds and dont make a special trip of it.
