Another article about the same thing, Its obvious why BB does so well, especially the " free" internet it provides to a certain point with the mobile internet pricing so high its the obvious choice for a lot of people.

no surpises here. Especially comming from vodacom. Can you even get a iphone from them without paying in R150,000 while having to subscribe on a talk 10000 contract for 35 years?
