New Contract - Advice?

[rinorobert]

Hey guys,

So I am in the market for an upgrade and i am wanting to move from Vodacom to Cell C as Cell C's data prices are really great.

I am an android fan and am looking for a new phone to go with this contact.

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and would like something that is good but under R399 per month. I need a phone that is over 4.3" but under 5.2".

I would really appreciate your advice, what do you guys think about Cell C and if you wouldn't choose them what would you choose and why?

Thanks a mil!

How much data do you use per month?

You could stay with the mini and go for the Galaxy S5 mini? It's R60 more than your R399, but long-term it could be worth it since you'd be switching to Cell C for the cheaper data

I'd consider moving to MTN and using Afirhost for data. R145 a month for 4GB

In fact, MTN has it at R399: https://shop.mtn.co.za/crs/jump/product/54281/Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Mini-Black

Combined with R145 from Afrihost for 4GB data, you'd be sitting pretty

I'll just leave this here

S5 mini, R300pm: 100 mins, 1,15Gb data, unlimited data until end March. Have a look at their other deals, like Huawei P7 (R320 pm)

That's mighty specific on the size you want...

Why don't you go for this guy : Telkom S5 Mini

Didn't see the previous post..

OP- beware of Cell C's network. Do yourself a favour, get a prepaid SIM to test out before committing long-term to them.

How much data do you use per month?

I need around 200 - 300mb per month, mainly for whatsapp.

Voice calling, I dont think I need more than 100 min per month.

Will take a look at everyones suggestions, thanks a lot guys, appreciate it!

Telkom mobile still has the S4 for R 329 a month with 1 gig data and 100 min

+1 to that deal... I'd take that over the S5 Mini

Whatsapp data is free on the Cell C network

Yes but you have no network 90% of the time . Honestly Telkom looks like the new winner right now. That S4 deal is pretty good.
