This is sick...

not cell'c fault imo, more like Ivy's fault. Turning on a blind eye at what telecoms operators do and let them rip us off. If cellc was the problem then they should've been punished but no one is doing anything about it so it's the DoC that are the enemies. If DoC do not open the market then SNO have no reason they should drop prices if customers have no other option. In a regulated environment, it has shown not even three mobile oeprators are willing to drastically reduce prices of telecommunications. We need an OPEN telecoms environment!!!
 
Same should go in the banking arena... I've been told by all three of my banks that their rates are no better or worse than any other bank???????

South Africans seem to be so complaicent, they just let large corpoates walk all over them...

Yes it is a huge worry that the SNO will follow suit. :mad:

Now that you have mentioned banks Carlhead. I used my bank to transfer money overseas, the amount in question was R 400.00 the service fee to do so was R 195.00 on top of it, bit expensive. I have since found www.xoom.com and they only charge US$ 3.50 per transaction irrespective of the amount being sent.

Our bank charges us a set fee of R100.00 when recieving money from overseas client via SWIFT transfers... so instead we just debit money out of thier credit cards where is costs us R35.00 for up to 50 transactions.

Wonder what they would charge you for sending money out? I believe that's where they make their money. Money coming into the country is cheap
