Yes its available on both MTN and Telkoms own network aswell as 8ta More.

If its not going onto the Telkom network you most likely don't have coverage. Try doing a manual search and selecting 8ta/6605/ZAF02/SA02/Telkom Sa

If you don't see any of them then you don't have coverage. If you do see them but get a error when you try to register on it you have 1 of 2 problems. Your sim is locked on roaming and a pm to telkom mobile rep will help. Your tarrif change did not go through to sim sonke or you are stuck on PSB data price plan.

Yeah iphone I did notice sometimes like the full MTN roaming than 1 or 2 bars Telkom coverage. Not always though. Its also sluggish in switching between the two networks.

OP will this be your primary sim card or primary data sim card. If primary data sim card I would recommend to contact data help desk and ask them nicely to have your card only work on TM mobile network.
