Telkom Mobile cracks 2 million subscribers

Telkom has increased its active mobile subscribers by 27% over the last twelve months, with strong mobile data growth

 

[Baba Vakai]

Impressive

Eating off Vodacom and emptyN 's pie. Good

 

[GreyBush]

They'll be getting me soon too.

 

[ajules]

What about net profit?

 

[marine1]

Good to hear, seems the EMTPY - N AND VODACON are losing subscribers which is a good thing

 

[ele33]

I just wish they would sort out the network in the Green Point area in Cape Town - other than that I have been pretty happy with them too.

 

[Bona Botse]

This news is bittersweet for me since they had to focus less resources on fixed lines to achieve this, which is probably the reason why I'm still stuck on 4mbps. But great for mobile I suppose.

moving across end of the month. Cancelled my useless vodacom contract and taking over one of my wife's old ones she barely uses anymore. R150 less a month for the same benefits I had on VC.

 

[marine1]

Will definitely port when my contract is up

 

[Randux]

Ported last week to them.

 

[Chevron]

This is great news. Hope they get more.

 

[Online Shuffle]

[Spotja]

Good news for us consumers. I hope the big 2 are paying close attention

 

[MartyMarts]

Are the good on pre-paid? I want to go old school and use please-call-me's after my contract is up.

Nice,although to be honest I'm surprised they haven't eaten more into the big two networks subscriber base already since they like Cell C offer much better deals.

South Africans are sometimes too imprinted by the brand they already subscribe to.People need to learn to trust other brands also they need to learn how not to be enticed into the early upgrade trap but rather wait that extra few months and then jump ship to whoever gives you the best deal.

The only advice I ever give somebody before they change networks is simple really,try that network on prepaid in the areas that you frequent for a month or two just to be sure that you can live with their reception in your areas.That way you'll never have any regrets halfway through the contract!

Nice. About to sign up a new contract with them. Already have 2 and I'm happy.

They provide the best cost/service facility in the country.

And no OOB shockers to boot.
