[Wanted] General feelings about 8ta

[charlie_82]

Hi all!

I'm considering a move from Vodascum to 8ta since I noticed a few offerings on 8ta that seem much cheaper.

For those of you have contracts with 8ta, can you please offer up some feedback on the network / server / coverage / speeds or anything you want really.

Thanks

What type of service are you looking at?
Voice, 3G, etc,... ?

Voice contract... I see some of the deals offer a few mb of data with smartphones but for the most part, I'm looking for a regular voice contract. If some data gets added in, it will be a bonus

Voice only - they are on a par with all the other operators in terms of quality, coverage, etc.

So your sole consideration should be price and choice of handsets.



/I have Vodacom, Cell C and 8ta voice contracts...

Thanks MickeyD! Having so many different contracts, which do you find most reliable? Or do you have any preference?

For voice: VC and 8ta (as they roam on MTN).
For data: VC (wider coverage outside of urban areas when I'm travelling)
