Awesome Service! iPhone 5 Woah Factor!

[ChristoC]

Well done Cell C! Called them yesterday and was able to get iPhone 5 16gig on the R399 package - the first 1000 special.
Fast.
Efficient.
Gr8t professional service.
Just the bummer to have to wait 5 to 7 business days for delivery!

Alas it will be worth it...
Cannot wait to be back with the iPhone clan - and no - I am not a Sheep following the PACK!
iPhones are bloody brilliant masters of the cell phone market!

Bye Bye mtn... you never WERE the better connection!

What does the better pricing Help if you don't have service half the time.

No idea what you are talking of but my experience of cell c in the last six months compared to mtn in the last 10 years has been largely similar.

Only in some rural areas cell c lacks 3g.

People can call me a sheep as well if they want to. I'm here in the UK and decided to give Android a go so got the HTC One X and the Nexus 4. Needless to say, I really don't see why people are so blown away with Android and anti-Apple.

Quality control is handled by Apple and thus you get an excellent product.
Software updates as and when they are released and not have to wait for manufacturers.
One single place to control apps, music, videos, photos and create backups to restore your phone if you choose not to use the cloud (let's face it, not everyone can conveniently use the cloud with data costs).
Can't do that with Android.
Restore your phone to how you bought it out the box when it starts acting slow.
Cant really do that with Android. Factory reset is not the same as a format and clean install. We all know that with Windows.
You get an easy to use interface which is much more slick and much much easier on the eye than Android. The apps also look 10 times better i.e. eye candy!
This is a biggy.... NO ANTIVIRUS NEEDED.

After using the One X for a week, I cancelled my contract on O2 and gave the phone back. I gave the Nexus 4 to my mother as a gift as she needed a new phone and will admit the vanilla experience of Android is better than anything Samsung and HTC can offer up. But it still doesn't compare to iOS.

So yeah, that is what caused me to go back to my iPhone 4S and if the iPhone 5's were currently unlockable on contract here, I would have one already. So I will gladly be called an iSheep due to having experienced both sides and know that Apple is better! At least I am also not deluded to think that Android is 'open'

Also, I had a Cell C prepaid card for my iPad and my iPhone was with MTN. Have to admit that I always had excellent 3G reception indoors with Cell C and not really with MTN. Where do most people live? Indoors! So that's kinda more important than rural reception for me. Lol

One single place they can control your music, videos and lurk in your backups... Need more?

Are you that important that Apple, the biggest company in the world, needs to control your life or look into it?

And how is that different to using the only option on Android being Google cloud?

Android aka 'open platform' syndrome. Easy diagnosis.

I was on Cell C a few years ago, kept getting dropped calls, etc was a nightmare no service anywhere outside of a major urban area. Moved onto MTN and have not looked back.

Yeah I don't think you can compare the Cell C of a few years ago with the cell c of today,back then they were in the dark ages still with no 3g and the network was bad with high number of dropped calls.

Its not perfect yet but its a whole different animal in my experience from when i left them 10 years back.In fact I used to have more no connect and dropped calls on mtn then the cell c ive experienced for the last few months in the areas I've visited.(I'm sure it can differ for others in other areas)

I just wish their rural coverage can catch up now on 3G.They have a 3G roaming agreement with vodacom but they are not switching it on in places like balfour etc
