Voice + Data (50GB+)

[shadow_man]

Hi,

What are my options nowdays for mobile data (preferably unlimited voice / 50gb+ data so I don't need to bother topping up, or a high cap).

I've been happy with Telkom Infinite up till now - but it's become so erratic of late (either no voice, no data or both)...

Preference is for something that supplies eSim / non contract, so I can chop and change as needed.

Thanks!

I would look at buying a dual sim phone (i.e. from Takealot, not Voda or MTN cause they block the 2nd sim for other networks AFAIK). Then for sim 1 just get an unlimited voice package and sim 2 the best mobile data deal you can find. On either MTN or Vodacom or even Axxess or Afrihost (with MTN or Voda of course)

Thanks I’ve got an iPhone so can handle multiple esims.

Incidentally I’ve been getting zero reception and data on the Telkom Infinite sim for the past few days, toggling it on/off and rebooting the phone hasn’t done anything to fix it - hence I wanted to move.

BUT if I disable the dual eSIM and only use the Telkom SIM then it works perfectly - so it’s odd. Activating the second sim after this seems to have both of the sims working - so possibly a bug…

Not sure what you smoke but my experience with vodacom on my cell with 2 Sims slots has been great. Never been blocked.
