8ta 21Mbps HSPA+ network tested

Why can't i get 3G? when i select 'SA02' as my network on my 8.ta sim i get access denied just as i said in my thread under the Telkom Mobile section....

Yet the 180 call centre confirm that if i do a manual selection on my handset i should select 'SA02', If 'SA02' does not show up on a manual selection i should choose MTN!!! yet another telkom fail...

I get 'SA02' GSM & UMTS on a manual network scan,

Yeah I got the same problem as you, I wish they would get a move on and activate all their towers!
 
I see "ZAF 02", is that also the Telkom Tower ?

Edit : I can't connect to this with an 8ta sim card.

I've been told that normal 8ta voice customers can't yet connect to ZAF02 or 65502 (The real telkom/8ta network) as they are forced to roam on MTN's network. This was to ensure countrywide coverage while the new network is being built. That is why we can't connect to it.

But i guess that will change soon when they launch their new network.

It is because 8.ta customers are forced on MTN until 8.ta switches subs back to its home network.
