    How do you "cope" with the blackouts?

    Put together a system few years ago (DIY). Used an old computer UPS, drilled holes in the casing, then pulled thick power cables through for an external 200AH battery to power it a lot longer than the tiny internal one. Runs the TV, lights, and Mnet in the lounge. Later I added 150W solar...

    Porting to Cell C - rica problem

    They keep telling me the SIM is not registered - BUT IT IS ! I had them double check when I bought it at PeP stores. Seem Cell-C's systems are broken or something... Ill rather port to Vodacom, as its simply too much trouble with CellC.

    Porting to Cell C - rica problem

    Having the same issue - bought yet another CellC sim PAYG and made sure they Rica'd it, but I also get a fail due to non rica. I sent a PM to Cell_C rep and lets see what happens. I am really tired of MTN stealing my data at a tremendous rate, and the high prices.

    MTN Data Bundle not being used, airtime being used.

    I have a similar issue - when I check balances (*136#) I have data but I cant browse the internet? MTN spams me with a lot of sms's that my bundle is finished, but it shows data on my balances...

    Xiaomi Redmi connectivity issue with PC

    I am unable to connect my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 to my laptop with the data cable. It simple does not pick it up and I get a message from windows that it does not recognize the usb device. I have tried debugging and developer mode & stuff, even google does not know an answer that works. Nothing...

    Porting from cellc to vodacom on prepaid

    OK so I guess I have figured out what went wrong, and no thanks to the poorly detailed info on vodacom's website.... I read now on the small little booklet that came with the sim, that it must be rica'd but not activated yet - in other words it should not be put into a phone before you send...

    Porting from cellc to vodacom on prepaid

    I also sent an sms with that long number printed on the sim, but no response - perhaps I broke their system? :unsure:

    Porting from cellc to vodacom on prepaid

    Bear with me people, I used to be on contract for ages with cell c but it expired and I am now on prepaid with the same sim card. I am tired of the weak network of cellc and dropped calls and slow internet speeds. So I bought a vodacom prepaid sim which was rica'd, but I want to keep my...

    Do you shop at Dion Wired?

    Nope - actually never - since they changed from the OLD Dions to this overpriced tech place that they are trying to portray.

    Would you book a flight on SAA at this stage?

    No I wont. Service is poor, attendants are useless and rude at best.

    Which smartphone do you currently use?

    I recently bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. Got all the bells & whistles and great 48MP camera. Reason was because its cheap and I will never spend R10k or more on a bloody cellphone.
