NeoConnect Lite

I'm not really so sure about this deal. From NeoConnect Lite prices emerge:

The NeoConnect 2G offering – providing consumers with 2 GB of data usage at speeds of up to 156 Kbps, 500 free on-net voice minutes, 25 free on-net SMSs and the device – costs R299.00 per month.

From Web Africa's bundled ADSL Complete packages I can get 384 Kbps and a 2 GB cap for R279 per month.

The "on-net voice minutes" - does this mean VoIP? Surely that should be free and unlimited (obviously counting towards your data cap but that should be it)? Otherwise I'll just run my own SIP/Asterisk server. 25 free "on-net" SMSes - Vodacom gives me 20 a day (which equals 600 a month roughly).

I'll rather stick to my current ADSL line for the moment.

On-net refers to Neotel to Neotel phone calls... see the table in this link for confirmation...

Yeah but at the end of the day, isn't that still only VoIP? It should just count against your cap IMHO and the actual call should be at no cost, unless I misunderstand something.
