    "Networks should also not be allowed to limit the number of times that a user can transfer their data, voice minutes, or SMSs" so why Cell C limiting to three times a day? "The transferred resource must retain the same conditions as the original bundle, including those relating to expiry...

    User Review: Discovery Insure Car Insurance

    I would like to add my experience with Discovery. Had the bakkie with them now for 2 years. And funny enough when i signed up , they were the cheapest. But more importantly , with the 25% value booster their offered, the value of the car was more in line real world, rather than the made up...

    Budget phone recommendations

    I was surprised when i setup the A15, that it was a bit more bloated than expected. Apps like Facebook, Youtube Music, Some gaming hub thing etc... but the biggest red flag for me was the tiktok pre-installed. that app to me is quite dodge. Why can't the manufacturers not just give phone with...

    I got me a galaxy A15. Needed a budget phone with some longevity (samsung's android updates) and without the spyware the like of cheaper chinese brands have. I knew it was coming without a charger, but then i thought I just use one of the current chargers around the house. To my surprise though...
