Good day all,

I need to know technical details of what network we run on in SA for MTN\Voda

The reason is I am looking at a phone not available here and they can only advise if it will work if I provide them with this info.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance..

Regards
Darren
 
It's easier if you mention the phone and what frequencies it can operate on and then we can assist you.

EDIT: remember that all handsets in SA must be ICASA approved.

This is the frequencies from the page you linked.

It should work for voice.
 
EDIT: remember that all handsets in SA must be ICASA approved.
Surely that should be 'all handsets sold in SA must be ICASA approved'?

IIRC, importing a handset privately is fine.
