CONTROLCHAT
With controlchat, managing your cellphone bill has never been easier

Controlchat offers you the best of both worlds - you get the stability and benefits of a contract with the freedom to choose upfront how much you want to spend each month, just like prepaid.

You get to choose a contract period of 12 or 24 months and for the duration of your contract a set amount will be debited from your bank account and credited to your cellphone account every month.

Calls are now charged at an all-day flat rate according to the New All Day tariff plan. Existing Controlchat customers can change to the new plan or choose between Easychat Standard and Per Second Billing.

Once you have reached your monthly contract limit - and really need to make that call - you can simply top up your airtime immediately with Cell C's instant recharge.

You can accumulate a maximum airtime balance equal to three times your Controlchat monthly credit amount (i.e. Controlchat 50 where you get R50 of value you can carry over R150). Note: the maximum rollover amount excludes any additional recharges that you make.

Unused SMS's will not rollover to the next month.

So what do you get with each Controlchat package?

  • Controlchat 50 gives you 25 free monthly SMSs
  • Controlchat 100 gives you R115 airtime and 100 free monthly SMSs
  • Controlchat 125 gives you R145 airtime and 100 free monthly SMSs
  • Controlchat 150 gives you R175 airtime and 100 free monthly SMSs
  • Controlchat 200 gives you R235 airtime and 100 free monthly SMSs
  • Controlchat 300 gives you R350 airtime and 100 free monthly SMSs
