** All prices and usage rates advertised include VAT, unless otherwise stated.
** The Service is available to Cell C Prepaid and Top Up customers who have recharged with at least R20 (twenty rand) per month for the last 2 (two) months and who have been active on the Cell C network for 2 (two) months or more.

** The total amount payable by the customer will be the Service Fee together with the amount of airtime that has been provided to the customer (“the total value”).
