MVNOs taking on the big boys in South Africa

South African app-based networks rocking

Multiple small mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) have launched prepaid mobile data services in the past 18 months that offer excellent value for money.

These operators also make the switch to their networks easy with digital-only sign-ups through their mobile apps and websites.

South African app-based networks rocking against Vodacom and MTN

Multiple small mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) have launched significantly cheaper prepaid mobile data services than Vodacom and MTN since mid-2023.

These operators also make the switch to their networks easy with digital-only sign-ups through their mobile apps and websites.

They forget to mention that Air Mobile offers totally free calls between Air Mobile clients. Don't know the terms but I do feel it is a good deal.

The networks aren't rocked, they get fixed predictable income every month from the MNVOs.
1 customer, 1 bill, 1 payment, for bulk capacity.
They not unhappy about, they MNVOs have to buy the same or more amount of capacity every month wether the MNVOs sell it or not.
