How to setup 8ta's ipad #Fail

[countach]

So, i have been taking a look at 8ta's step by step guide to setup data on the iPad. The guide is simple and spot on with 3 big screenshots of where to go. But, alas.. look at the top left corner - its written "MTN-SA".

8ta's network was not on air when they released their ipad deal.

How else could they have made the guideline without any network displayed?

It could say AT&T for all I care, it doesn't make the instructions on their website incorrect.

Fail to all of you. The correct answer is:

It's a well know fact that 8.ta have a roaming agreement with MTN for both voice and data. You can force your 8.ta SIM Card to roam on MTN by changing your "current network", which will then display "MTN". It's the same things as how Cell C (used to?) has a roaming agreement with Vodacom.

They could have used a Telkom 3G SIM?

Otherwise, they could have at least photoshopped 'Telkom SA' in. It is pretty slack to show your competitor's name on your website, even if you have a roaming agreement with them.

photoshop = ASA complaint...iirc 8ta had no sites on air when they published that guide. Perhaps now they should change it!
