[Twista]

So beginning of June 2012 I had 6 FREAKING VODASCUM Contracts. 6 I tell u.

I happy to say as of 01 August 2012, I will only have 4 Contracts from VODASCUM and a further 2 from CELL C ... HOORAY to me!

Slowing migrating. Vodacom u flipping screwed me for too long.

It seems that Cell C is the hero for the moment.

The life story of the SA consumer:

I migrated from MTN to CellC - good price from Cell C
Then back to MTN - poor service from Cell C
And now back to Cell C - good price from Cell C and poor service from MTN.

Cell C FTW Now just get that fast network in to more places please - EDGE roaming SUCKS!! Also please bring back some better priced data deals for those who use more than just a few hundred MBs a month when away from secure wifi!

Cell C airtime is useless, you cant use it to call international calls or send sms! WTF Cell C!!!

It's worth paying a R1000 or so more over the contract term to avoid Autopage or any other 3rd party SP.

Please elaborate?

I hope moving to Cell C gives me good coverage. Also services level?? It good that pricing is great but when u need assistance I hope their customer service is jacked up.

Just type the 3rd party service providers in HelloPeter for yourself. I also make a point of staying clear of these 3rd sellers. Why must I deal with them if I can go straight to Vodacom, Mtn, Cell C? I had bad experiences with 3rd party's billing issues, crappy call centres etc.

Please elaborate?

I've said it before. Two reasons.
1) Call centre not toll free
2) If a problem arises, often the network is blamed and in turn the network blames the SP. You're stuck in the middle (see point 1).
