Due to some very bad past experiences, I'm extremely anti MTN, but I'm also prepared to get a starter pack if we're going to do this.
 
should we set a date and start rallying troops?
1st August sounds like a good date - day the new prices come in - steal some headlines
 
I've got MTN, but, um, sorry for the ignorance, but Kal_Al or someone could you please explain step by step how something like this would work? I'm very bad with the technical stuff so I don't understand :(
 
Attempts

Firstly, a record attempt would need to be logged with the correct authorities,
Secondly, a network would need to help the attemt.
Thirdly, the attempt would need to be recorded and documented
I think getting the people would be easy, I wonder if we place all people in a stadium and try the attempt there???
Next step is approching MTN or CellC, I am with Vodascum as well,

Therefor, plan of action:
Form a group, who will carry the attempt forward, contact records office in UK, approch Provider etc , media, etc etc, and then call for participents
1000 members on this Forum, each with 5 freinds? HMMM

And I was upset about the attitude of previous posts- no names mentioned, but thats water under the bridge,

DEATH TO TELKOM

I concur. I think this has to be small isolated groups of people. we all phone in at a prescribed time and stay on the line over a period of 5 minutes or 10 minutes - how long does a 4.99 starter pack give you?

As far as I know it doesn't give you any airtime, the R4.99 is only for the sim. You will then need to buy some airtime. I can see MTN smiling with glee at the prospect of 1000 or more people talking for 5 or 10 minutes at the same time.

UNless MTN come to the party and we can get a discount on our airtime - like a toll free number for the conference call? I will get in touch with their marketing director
 
Peapod- contact me to discuss

Please send me your msn, so we can discuss further,
 
Well, lets make it happen

Lets get a group together, with the aim of the following
A: work out technical difficulties
B: work on getting the record, recorded.
C: work on pulling everyone together, possibly a sponsor etc,

I dont think people would be a problem, technically I am sure it could be done, and the record is the easy bit, the hard bit it getting a sponser involved,

Any volunteers, please step forward,

DEATH TO TELKOM
 
you have to fight money with money, and unfortunately, any sponsor would be shy to step forward as Telkom overshadow them. Heck. they could even be more anti-competitive and accidently disconnect your sponsor's telephone lines and get them to lose money :D
