Best and worst cellular packages in South Africa

The latest Tarifica scores show that Telkom is expanding its lead over competing mobile operators, in terms of providing the most value for contract plans

With Telkom Mobile the price is good, all the data is good....but the call quality often sucks

Where does it suck?

I get crystal clear reception everywhere I go.

Um, I would say its actually pretty good, unless of coarse you are in an area with no TM or MTN coverage

Not much chance of that happening.
If there is no TM, there will be MTN.

You are confusing Telkom Mobile with Cell C.

Telkom is great.

I have a great experience with Telkom Mobile too,and they are the only operator thats expanded their LTE in my suburb


Not surprised to see Vodacom somewhere near the bottom

Edit: Vodacom has LTE coverage too but its meh compared to TM.

The Telkom packages are great, and I love having so much mobile data. I've had the smart plan 100 for almost a year, and at most times it was great. Sadly data speeds have dropped badly in the last few months.

Yeah I have had a lot of poor quality phone calls around PE, But I do have roaming off to insure I only use telkom data. Don't know if thats why I have problems
