Well not all people have a cellphone in SA remember...

Well I'm on MTN and haven't had a bad experience yet - although why do all the cellphone providers insist on a 2 year contract :confused: . In 1st world countries, it's usually 12-months....

probably because vodacoms cheesy yebo gogo ad campaigns have brainwashed the joe average on the street into signing with them. sad really :rolleyes:

Same here rburley. I had problems with MTN from the very day I signed up until the very day I celebrated the end of my 2 year "jail" term with them.

I've been with Vodacom for many years now and have not once had a problem with them. No billing problems, no customer care problems or anything else. I won't be leaving them anytime soon, even if MTN brings out some spectacular packages.

Its actually scary how many people have cellphones. Your average begger on the street has a cellphone, although they might not have a roof to sleep under.
