Anyone getting the Cell C data sim with the iPhone 4?

[SYNERGY]

I know it will be limited to EDGE unless Apple releases an update. The Radio/chip is capable.

Looking at the 2GB p/m package;

Anyone using the Cell C data sim with the iPhone 4?

Thanks!

AFAIK the iPhone 4 supports 3G @ 900mhz so you should get full speed....

Yip, iPhone 4 supports 3G on all 4 bands (850, 900, 1900, 2100) - 3G should work with a Cell C SIM

Can't wait for Cell C to launch 3G in Jo'burg/Pretoria. Where you located? Let us know how the speed and stability is

Ok so I purchased the bundle

First off: Cell C does not have Micro Sims.
Secondly: The data sim electrical/contact area on the sim is about 50% larger than a normal sim :0!

So I got the consultant to do a sim swap to a normal sim card, and attacked it with the scissors in store
Sim swap was done for free

Took about 3 minutes to activate.

Test Date: 08 October 2010 1:58 PM
Connection Type: Cellular
Server: Durban
Download: 3.05 Mbps
Upload: 0.11 Mbps
Ping: 198 ms

Latitude: -29.8342
Longitude: 31.0327

A detailed image for this result can be found here:

Service is ok - Full 3G signal Chatsworth & Westville.

Speed is anywhere from 200kb (edge) to 3mb
Average Latency/Ping is 200 to 300ms. With 1 spike upto a second.


Overall- I'm very satisfied

Not too shabby. Let us know after a few days use if it's stable

does anyone know of a cell C store in the CPT area where they are competent enough to help me get a cell c sim for my iphone4? the people at Canal walk just turned me away as they clearly weren't interested in helping someone out...

Avoid the one in Kenilworth Centre, they are dumb as donkies.

Can you please confirm what to do to use this Data sim with my iphone 4 and to port my number from Vodacom to Data sim.The Cell c store does not have any clue how to do it.
