Telkom Mobile network quality question

[rooi baard]

Hi dudes,

Currently on a prepaid Vodacom and thinking of getting a Telkom Mobile contract

There's good value (relative to other offerings) but my question relates to the network itself: How good is the average users experience one Telkom Mobile - call quality, reliability (of roaming) etc. A 2 year commitment is a liability if the service provider's not on point.

Keen to hear your views!

Where do you stay? I moved to them recently, so far coverage + call quality is ok.

I have used Telkom Mobile for the last 2 years, no issues.

Where there is no TM coverage, you'll roam on MTN's network, so you are covered.

How does data coverage work? if you buy a bundle, will it work when roaming on MTN's network as well?

Nope, unless your contract specify it, like my Smartplan 150.

Are there any ways on prepaid to buy a Data bundle that will also work on MTN?

I highly doubt it, but you can contact them and ask?

All the normal data bundles will work
Only the promo bundles are on the 8ta/TM network only
Will clearly be stated when buying a bundle which one it is
