Sign up with GoogleCURRENT: I am using a 12 month old S5 3G on prepaid Vodacom. I still have 2x ADH remaining and I am very happy with voice calls on Vodacom and voice is my primary use of the sim during working hours as I am on WIFI in the office. I also have an Afrihost sim in a mifi in the car. This has worked well but it is a pain to always remember to unplug from the cigarette lighter when going to a restaurant/doctor/mall etc and then I have to carry it in one of my pockets.
SO, I have 2 choices - either port to MTN prepaid and change my Afrihost to APN on this prepaid MTN sim and ditch the mifi, OR, buy a dual sim phone and keep my number with Vodacom for voice and their excellent voice quality and coverage and then stick the current Afrihost mifi sim into the second sim slot and ditch the mifi. I would then sell the S5 and cover the cost of the new dual sim phone and my new device would have LTE.
I like having the 2x ADH in my pocket for the next 12 months as an insurance policy for the S5. 2 Dual Sim's I have considered:
*Moto G4 Dual Sim from Orange (drop it and break the screen and I may as well throw it away)
*Xiaomi Note 3 which has dual sim and maybe a local screen repair would be possible via the importers - fat battery is appealing on this phone
The problem with both of those dual sim's is that, while their CPU, RAM and screen res is on a par with the S5, their camera's give poorer quality photo's and the 1080 video's are nowhere near as rich as the S5 can do and this is important as I regularly take pics and video's of the kids.
What would you do, port to MTN for Afrihost APN or get a dual sim phone. Have I missed any great Dual Sim's?
(NOTE: Afrihost data is a company perk so Telkom's new FreeMe is not an option and Voda Data is irritatingly expensive currently even with buy once for x amount of months. Also: Cell C never again)
