Tell you what you do if you're with MTN... gotta get your moneys worth somehow.

 

[HavocXphere]

Thats pretty insane imo. But hey I guess people can spend their cash anyway they want.

R2199 x 24 = R52 776 :wtf:

Sure - its significantly more reliable than Whatsapp.

Not bad on anytime 200.

The 200 refers to airtime value so you get like 80 or so minutes

I know, but the 500 mb data is pretty good with that for 499

Damn these responses.

Have you guys compared to the vodacom pricing?

These MTN contracts are much, much better. Cheaper with more data. Which is quite the shock as MTN and Vodacom are usually quite similar in pricing.

Now Vodacom is actually dead last out of all the networks with regards to data allocation.

Surprisingly aggressive pricing by MTN. Their per-minute call rates are still a bit high but then Cell C doesn't have the iph6.

sooo my dilemma is this. need to upgrade on Cell C, but what if i rock up at istore 6am only to realise they dont have Cell C upgrades available ... will kinda suck

Cell C have said they launching tomorrow, but still no pricing...come now!

Interesting.. Last few contract pricing.. 2011 4S (16GB, Anytime200) R500, 2013 5S (32GB, Anytime200) R450.. If I got a >> 2014 6 (64GB, MTNChoice200 or Anytime350?? What is this?) R650 <<

Why??? Is inflation and rand depreciation over last 12months that bad? Ps. Why no change in us price for last two models btw

You did see that they also doubled the amount of data you get right?

 

[Creag]

Can Apple really justify these prices? Is the machine really worth it?

Soo I rocked up at istore at 4h30... Bought the wifes iPhone 6 in gold and decided to upgrade my contract with cell c... What a farq up... They only have 16gig models on the contract and they had options which they later pulled off and it basically was only two options a 3gig option and the limitless option... Highly annoyed... Cell c most probably in the entire year had to just plan and get this right... But they wholesale stuffed it up... Not to mention the endless waiting for the istore tech to just try and get me contract options...
