Sub-R500 smartphone contract comparison - December 2022

Best smartphone contracts under R500

Buying a smartphone with cash in South Africa can carry a high cost. However, South Africa's mobile network operators offer smartphone deals on two and three-year contracts for those wanting to avoid a once-off purchase.

MyBroadbroad compared some of the best contract deals from Cell C, MTN, Telkom, and Vodacom for less than R500 a month.

This is so typical of the retail industry always trying to sell "Ice to the eskimo stating their block of ice block is superior to the competitors" or "Their hexagon shaped Ice blocks is superior to the competitors rectangular shape" In fact these are only ice blocks and only sales "Bull Sugar and Iced Tea" the norm of ALL SALES rubbish. All "Smoke and Mirrors"
Study carefully before falling for all deals...!!!

All 36month contracts.

100% irrelevant.

And don't forget that for decades sales people have been trying to convince us that a deal is automatically a bargain when in fact it is merely an agreement.

Especially when they can increase prices mid-contract.

These are all wrong. The "best" under R500 contract is the one you're still on after your device has been paid off...

I definitely think the Telkom Infinite Sim Only Contracts offer the best value for money. Prefer to buy my own phone anyway.
