Sign up with GoogleOK! I posted a request for advice (wrong column was my fault) still new here. There were some suggestions, however,some missed the point so will state requirements again, having read several threads, am a bit wiser now.
1. We don't have a Telkom/fixed/adsl line
2. We had a 3G Telkom, which would have sufficed had it worked properly - cause it satisified our 2 basic requirements; make/receive calls - email, internet banking. Unfortunately we comm errors frequently "Emergency call only available" Telkom's response " install a R ?K ext antennae - but no guarantee from them, so we shelved that!
3. We considered Neotel (as they have similar offering to Telkom - wireless 3G phone/internet (1GB pckge). But having read all the Neotel complaints here we shelved that also.
So we stuck & require advice? We need:
Wireless instrument that's voice/internet access - Which?
Service provider - Who?
Any idea on cost factot we looking at for: +- 75 calls a day (jhb mainly, incl bandwidth cost.+- 50 emails (avg 30kb per mail)
Internet browsing - max 1 hour per day, information seeking mainly!
Service should be reliable, cost effective, as long as fairly audible we happy! We receive & make calls so don't want it to be expensive for our clients to phone us! Some suggested FNB, their special expires end March. Some suggested MWebs voip - I read their website & to me it sounds ADSL based.
Some gave a link to a service provider - I email them 3 days ago, & no reply yet, so sounds like bad service provider (Neotel/Telkom like?). My partner & I, both late 50's & want min stress!
So please any suggestions/solutions, pls help. Any other requirements, am willing to supply.
