Vodacom or MTN Datacard ??

[stocksie]

Going to buy a datacard and only use maybe 100/200MB per month when on the road - as ADSL at home.
I know they are the same E620 card but what would you buy - Vodacom or MTN Card?

Thanks

yes, they're basically the same card, with different paintjobs... but I would reckon the best one to choose is which network gives you the best coverage and speed. I have the MTN flavour card, but I use Vodacom sim inside. Twisted I know; the MTN package deal was better, but there's no MTN 3G/HSDPA here in my area, whereas VC great signal, 5x the speed. So, have a look at the packages available, I think nowadays they'll be quite similar, and the pricing is close too, and at the end of the day u want to have the best use for the card, so the deciding factor would then have to be the coverage & speed where u'll be using it most.

Isn't there a difference in the length of the guarantee? I know there is (or was) with the phones. Also consider that Vodacom might be inclined to do a mass (allegedly free ) swapout again for 4G or whatever.
