SIM-only option now offered by Mondo online

Mondo, an innovative online cellular store, launched on 8 April 2013 with SIM-only contracts, which for South Africans means no more being "forced" to pay off the mandatory handset, making handing down of cellular phones to family and friends that much easier and cheaper.

Set to replace standing in long queues and completing endless reams of paperwork, the customer has access to the latest mobile phones, data contracts, upgrades and SIM-only contracts without the hassle of visiting a store but still with the benefit of talking to a consultant offering personalized service and advice. No banking details or other private information is entered online and the sale ends with free delivery to the customer's home or place of work.

Revolutionising cellular contract options, the SIM-only contracts simply mean the margin traditionally allocated to fund the mandatory handset in a conventional mobile phone contract is used to fund call costs instead, thereby saving the customer money each month.

SIM-only contracts have far-reaching consequences for a country like South Africa in which over 59 million people are reported to be mobile phone users.

The online store is open during the week between 9am and 6pm, any afterhours shopping will result in a consultant phoning the customer the next day to offer any support and to complete the sale. Vodacom connects Mondo.
