Best prepaid?

[HavocXphere]

Will be making my annual pilgrimage back to SA shortly.

What SIM should I pick up at the airport? Preferred VC traditionally but open to suggestions.

Mainly interested in data. Occasional call to MTN.

Do any of the prepaids stay active for a year+?

Telkom mobile, best data prices and general call rates.

 

[BrightBlue]

Not exactly a year+

But if you interested in data, CellC offers Giga100 - 100GB anytime R999 once off
Valid for 365 days.

MTN for voice and get your data from Axxess (works with MTN sim only). Axxess offers month to month with a 3 month rollover. prices similar to Afrihost (who don't offer rollover?)
1Gb/month = R57
Telkom if you are going to spend most of your time in metropolitan areas.

 

[IOPS]

As a once off, probably Telkom.
If you need more data then get an MTN SIM and go for Afrihost data.

 

[FlashSA]

If you're happy with 2GB of data or less, the Telkom FreeMe plans are unbeatable value. 300min landline and on net calls per month included. Their off network call rate is 68c via all networks voice bundles.

More data than that, then go MTN + Afrihost data.

Thanks guys

Ended up getting a spare sim from a family member

Pity that these Sims expire
