Cell C, what have you done?

They use to be simple and had good combo data\voice deals.
Their contracts was awesome when the iphone4s came out.
However, she said while with cellc she has never had so many "spam calls" from guess you, her own service provider.

She's made a jump away to a better voice\data ratio contract with another SP
 
The other option is the 66c/min pre paid and a R1000/100GB for 365 days option

Makes the Epic option at R1.89/min look stupid expensive

Not really comparable....like bananas to apples.I tried prepaid for a couple months after I left MTN and I found myself running out of airtime at the most inconvenient times when I needed my phone urgently.There was even one member here who ran out of airtime while he was being robbed so yeah not gonna work for most people as the convenience factor just isn't there.

The chatmore contract with 200 min and 150mb data and out of bundle call rate of 75c per minute billed in seconds is just so much more flexible . I'll never go back to prepaid again,month to month contract suits me just fine.

I use a dual sim phone :p

I'm leaning towards this as the second sim can be for data or even prepaid.Problem is accessing high end dual sim phones in this country with warranty is problematic at best.Also no dual sim iphone at all.
 
The only network really providing dual sim phones, is the network being discussed here.

Unless of course you buy from a 3rd tier supplier, or you import.

R50 printed voucher can be stored conveniently for three months or more. Good for emergency. I kept one for one year, as I forgotten about, but it was still valid.

It's not that....sometimes you need to call right now and there's no time to waste loading vouchers deep in your pocket torn to shreds after sitting there for years etc lol you just want the thing to work now immediately.

Murphies law you run out of airtime only at that moment.

Edit:In fact rather than vouchers there are easier ways to buy airtime instead of going into a shop to buy a physical voucher but even those are nowhere near as convenient as a contract.Sure if you don't use your phone much,airtime might work for you but I use my phone a lot so I can't afford the hassle of running out of airtime when I have urgent important calls to make.

Vodacom & MTN has always had this airtime based contract system so why not make an article about them for a change?
