Will we ever see such low prices even with the new SNO on the way. Hope they don't do what Cell-C did

Thats exactly it, they didnt do anything, we're still paying far too much for cellular services in SA, hopefully Virgin Mobile will bring some change

Bubble burster... Virgin as much as said "we're not going to compete in price, but rather in service". They're also focusing on business, rather than home users.

So they actually mean is, "Geez, those South Africans don't mind getting ripped off. We want a piece of that pie!"

Well, from what I'v heard, they're going to fucus on the lower end of the market, and that they want to bring costs down, might be wrong tho.

What you said, sounds more like what the SNO said

I dunno, what I said was stated on the forum, so it's 3rd hand and might be totally fabricated.
