    MTN don't offer password protection to prevent SIM swaps

    I had a fraudulent sim swop a couple of years back. I managed to cap their service centre from another phone and explain. Since I picked it up fairly quickly, she could reinstate my line, but could not answer any questions about how this actually happened. She either put me through to their...

    I want a higher kW inverter please help

    For those days, it’s a generator not more cost effective to charge them up than another battery?

    Investec

    This might not be the case any longer. It was true when I opened my account, this was the main difference, but also more than a decade back. I browsed through the current rules you linked, would have been under the product restrictions. To be sure, check with your banker.

    Investec

    Prime saver has a limit on how many transfers can go in or out, cash management does not. You can keep the cash management account and open a prime saver, you don’t need to choose. You can also have multiple of either account as well, if you need to separate savings purposes.

    Value Gumtree Ads

    https://www.webuycars.co.za/buy-a-car/Audi/A6/27B808495 So much want! Maintenance plan extended to 2030, that should cover most risk. The problem is the value will nosedive once that plan expires and there are no more opportunities to extend it.

    Car accident - What to do?

    Good on you for having third party cover instead of zero cover. It should be a minimum. Unfortunately this is one of the risks of only having third party cover, especially on South African roads where there are a high amount of uninsured drivers. Your best bet is to attempt recovery as per...

    CDs Making a Comeback?

    You need the phone to download the song, album or playlist but once it’s on the watch it can operate independently. I use my watch when jogging or gymming. I get the impression people think you are playing music through the watches loud speaker. The earphones pair with the watch, like it...

    Job makes it hard to resign

    I agree with the sentiment of seeking labour advice. What might guide you here is the BCEA, the notice period in your contract is not in line with BCEA and while you signed the contract, that portion is not valid as the act will override it. However, companies do put longer notice periods but...

    Solar opinions

    I installed my system in the middle of bad load shedding and still kept a close eye in terms of trying to recoup and maximise. In summer I run my aircons significantly more than I used to and still can’t use everything there is to produce. Previously I thought about to cost of running it for...

    Dawie's Solar Setup

    Congrats! I’m still waiting after multiple follow ups over 3 months after submitting everything required. How’s the system covering your needs after the extra battery?

    Philips hairclipper Series 5000 review

    Thanks for this post, I was looking for a shaver and this seems like a good price. I have a 6 year old Remington that’s just about done for.

    Another solar thread: Cape Town, Northern Suburbs

    I consider myself educated. Never needed to use that before and mistakenly wrote it like I would kWh.

    Another solar thread: Cape Town, Northern Suburbs

    1 year review: So my panels went up 29 March 2023, the system has performed well so far with most issues being user error. I’ve had a few trips (automation would help me big time - mainly when geyser is on and some other things running), the other time the battery gave a low voltage error from...

    Monthly Solar Production - Show us yours

    Just captured my stats for Feb and March. Similar production with some Eskom used in March, there was one heavily overcast day. Still lots of days where the panels idle, especially with the lower aircon usage.
