What “Voda” stands for

[rpm]

Just had a discussion on what “Voda” stands for: Voice and Data

The name Vodafone comes from voice data fone (the latter a sensational spelling of "phone"), chosen by the company to "reflect the provision of voice and data services over mobile phones".

Did that already. Couldn't believe the extras that Telkom Mobile's threw in, for free.

One thing I like about telkom mobile is its hardcapped with resume option. Gives peace of mind esp when kids tend to watch youtube stuff on the sly...

I switched from Telkom to Vodacom. Got tired of paying less and getting bad coverage, international roaming the NEVER worked no matter how many times I complained and when it did work it cost 3 x the price of Vodacom's roaming. Also at the time Telkom's LTE data was dead as doornail.

In Telkom's defence though, I know they have fixed up their LTE a lot now.

But i'm sticking with Vodacom, it just works and its works well.
