Cell C contract offers blow away the competition at every level, Vodacom shouldn't even bother advertising their contract prices to save themselves the embarrasment.
 
I am not paying this 40% premium for the Vodacom/MTN brand any more. Surely now, it's just perception that they have a better quality network.
 
Cell C for yourself. I wish my MTN contract was expiring tomorrow. Maybe I'll get it via FNB. Hopefully the S3 is going to drop in price and I can get the Mrs a nice birthday gift
 
Vodacom data includes 250MB bonus for pre-order customers

When I phoned in for the Xperia Z I was told that's for new contracts only.

I know a lot of people that took the iPhone deal from Cell C, and are regretting it because Cell C just doesn't have the coverage of Vodacom. However, if you do have coverage, and don't travel too much, the Cell C package is great value.

Agreed. I've been burnt with Cell C. I have the 2 GB cell C deal on my ipad and 1GB Vodacom data on my galaxy S2.

Guess which one I use the most...about 50% of the time, my cell C data is completely unusable where's Vodacom for the most part has excellent coverage. Pity about the fantastic cell C pricing though. What's the point of saving if the service received is not up to the standard you're used to.
 
that Cell-C offer at R399 seems mighty nice considering the extra 1Gb data included.
on these kinds of phones the networks shouldnt really be offering less than 500Mb.
I know u can add on loose bundle, but 250Mb or so is just inviting people to go OOB, especially the first month with all the updates and getting-to-know the phone data usages

will see what 8ta/TelkomMobile offers... are they still such a schlep to sign up on?

I saw MTN has a deal fro R399 as well
200mins, 200sms and 200mb
 
I don't get why this device should cost R8500?
+1 to that
Because that is the price people are willing to pay. But I agree it is madness.
Sad, but true... same goes for cars.
I guess the sensible thing to do would be to buy the S3 in a few weeks when the price-drops start to hit the market.
If they sell that for around R3k, it'll be a good deal.
Cos, who wants a 720-4.8inch phone in a 1080-5inch world?!
 
Where did you see this?

on the expresso show on tv this morning lol
I always laugh at how they make a big deal of all the "awesome" mtn promos
but this one actually wasnt too bad
Ill still get the cell c deal though
