Virgin Mobile & New CellC Towers.

[CellBel]

CellC is busy building new towers in certain areas. I think that GTVM and/or CellC's info on this will be very much appreciated.

Are those towers just going to support gprs or what? lol

They will support EDGE.

It probably costs the same to install EDGE as it does 3G.

Then why would they not install 3G?

 

[Boodles]

Yay - edge. Cant wait till i get my edge phone. lol

Maybe, but i can't see why they don't go for 3G. To supply EDGE now to users and 3G later can be more expensive.

Hi CellBel,

Putting up new towers would be related to the planned, ongoing enhancement of the network.

Gerald.

Hi Gerald,
Do you have some info on these areas, or is this only for the N\Cape at this moment. Maybe Kobus Prinsloo from CellC can help with info. This is a very positive action towards the enhancement of the network.

Hi Cellbel,

I will attempt to get this info, but I doubt it is for general consumption.

Regards,

Gerald.

SSShhhh, secret towers planned.

CellC is busy with the construction of a tower in our town, so maybe by the end of next month we hope to see a more stable GPRS from Virgin Mobile in our area

I've got reception from a new tower in my area. This only within the last few days....

Is this a CellC tower, and can you get EDGE???

 

[Boodles]

Just another vodacom tower.

Still only gprs where i am.

 

[CellBel]

I saw this new CellC tower yesterday, but this is not like a VC tower. It is a cylindrical structure, and maybe in the next week or two they will finish it.

 

[CellBel]

The tower is in place now, and i can see it from my house.

 

[Conspirator]

It is a cylindrical structure
