    Is there another way to switch off broadcast messages

    I'm on pay-as-you-go. The message I get is "Migration to the requested price plan is not allowed on your current price plan". Thanks for stepping in, by the way: I couldn't find anything anywhere else that addressed this issue. The frequency of messages has increased. I'm getting them more...

    Is there another way to switch off broadcast messages

    I've had to physically stop myself from throwing my 'phone out of the window. This stupid American voice keeps saying "Zone 35 percent, 35 percent" every five minutes, night and day. I cannot find any way to switch the damn thing off. My Redmi Note 9 doesn't seem to have the required settings...

    Nedbank Money App

    Thanks, I'll try that. I think I might just have an odd shaped head. Irritating that it doesn't have an option to omit the process if the parameters can't be followed whether due to lighting or other factors.

    Nedbank Money App

    I've been using the Nedbank Money App quite happily for a few years. Recently I've been having a problem transferring money between accounts with a cryptic error message which says "rejected due to Validation" So yesterday, I called the helpline and the helpful lady suggested I uninstall the...

    Should the legal drinking age increase from 18 to 21?

    Seriously? Do they think this will stop shebeens selling to underage kids? Nobody bothers with this anyway; it'll make no difference. It might be another hit to an industry which is already on its knees after Covid. Damn stupid, if you ask me.

    LM Radio on MW 702

    Does anyone know why LM Radio suddenly stopped broadcasting a few months ago? I always had it on my car radio when I drove up to Joburg, but the last few times I have been unable to get reception.

    Ramaphosa's statements about COVID-19 vaccine hoarding explained

    Suggesting that only those who stumped up the funds to pay for development should be vaccinated is an uncaring, unsympathetic short-sighted and callous attitude to take. If only those that can afford it are vaccinated, then the virus will propagate among that portion of the population not...

    Generator or Inverter for residential use?

    I've seen something advertised on facebook: https://nextgenshope.com/products/big-bang-inverter Seems too good to be true (which means it probably is). I can't see any reviews apart from those on their website which seem suspiciously uniform,

    On how to discontinue an expired contract (MTN)

    Thanks. That's very helpful. The contracts appear to be over 24 months. You don't happen to know whether they can be upgraded or downgraded in that time? I don't see anything in the FAQs.

    On how to discontinue an expired contract (MTN)

    Logically, one would expect a contract to be better value than pre-paid. Is anyone using pre-paid efficiently? I also have MTN as my service provider, but I don't spend more than R100 a month in calls.

    On how to discontinue an expired contract (MTN)

    My GF has had a contract with MTN for around 12 years. The contract period is over 2 years. Recently the latest contract expired and the billing ammount requested from MTN went up to around R600 from about R500. What are the options? Does she go pre-paid?
