Strange, I did a scan here in the V&A Waterfront:
Now I wonder too
Now I wonder too
And that's definitely zero two and not oh two?
It would shake things up if O2 came to South Africa.

I am pretty sure it is a zero, sorry. But I could be wrong. I don't have any more details than that.
My phone does not give any cool details like network type or codes or anything.
But it does pick up a fourth network
That is Telkom
Yep that is Telkom confirmed. Good news 4 u Cape Town guys. You are now covered with Telkom 3G. Others living around Cape Town do check and post your results 4 coverage as well. Cape Town will be getting 70 Towers and Durban 50 only

Your phone has a list of MCC/MNCs and the corresponding names in it's firmware. If it can't find a name in the list it will display a generic name based on the codes; in this case the MCC is 655 for South Africa, and the MNC is 02, hence "SA 02" and "ZAF-02".Why don't they call it Telkom? or bigT

Thought they were only starting in 2009.
Telkom 3G in Pietermaritzburg
Dear Uli, i dont know for a fact whether Pietermaritzburg is included in this first phase rollout of 250 BTS. But most likely it would be included in the next phase of 500 BTS. Huawei has to hand over the first set of the 250 BTS by the end of FEB 2009 in complete working order with Telkom providing the Backhaul for every BTS. TELKOM is definitely commissioning a second phase of 500 BTS By 1 April 2009. My guess is u might definitely have Telkom 3G by July 2009.
I have this info ( subject to change ) on good record.
N-CAPE+E-CAPE+W-CAPE = 70 BTS
Durban + KZN = 50 BTS

It looks like someone has changed it now, remember Wikipedia can be edited by anyone.
I've picked up the 65502 network in Table View, Somerset West (Helderberg Village, where is still no Vodacom 3G) and Goodwood.
It seems Telkom are everywhere I go!
Now that is a scary thought
