Porting from CellC to Telkom Mobile...a wise move?

[Sm00thSm0k3]

So I've been using CellC (prepaid) for roughly a year and a half now and I'm considering a move to Telkom Mobile as I have no interest in returning to Vodascum.

Despite CellC's mostly empty claims of investing millions into their network it just seems like during the time period I've been with them my overall service experience has not improved. I still get as many dropped calls, random loss of signal and ****ty data throughput as I had in the beginning.

The last straw for me was when my mates and I were playing pool at the bowling alley at Brightwater Commons (Randburg) last week Saturday and the entire time while we were in the building I had ZERO f**king service while my mates on Vodascum had 3G coverage and were "WhatsApping", sending photos/videos and going about their business as usual. This is not the first time that in the middle of a popular suburb my smartphone was relegated to a fancy paperweight.

From what I've read on here, signal wise, most folks are pretty happy with Telkom Mobile and the call quality seems to be top notch but I guess more input from Telkom subscribers won't hurt.

Porting from CellC to anyone is a wise move

I was on Telkom Mobile for about a year, and very happy, but when they switched off the closest tower my reception was really poor so I'm on Vodacom now. May not be the cheapest, but I get reception pretty much everywhere, and even 4G in many places.

You have signal so yes its a wise move. I too would leave Cell C if I had better TM signal.

i see everybody dissing vodacom everywhere, but you need to face the facts that they are by far the best and the most efficient network in this country when it comes to 3g coverage and lte. you get what you pay for

on the red advantage plan with the iphone 5s and i couldn't be happier since i need all the minutes, data and sms (lots of my clients don't have whatsapp rofl especially old people)
