Which frequencies are we using in SA?

Hi, I am currently in Dubai and they are selling these "GSM repeaters" here to boost the cellular signal. It is an active unit with a outdoor and indoor antennae. My question is: Which frequencies do we use in South Africa ? At work we have zero signal inside the building, but outside nearly full signal. Thx J

900 MHz (2G and Cell C 3G), 1800 MHz (2G) and 2100 MHz (3G - Vodacom and MTN)

Just remember that it is illegal to actively transmit a signal in that band, even if you simply repeat the service providers'. Practically they probably wouldn't care too much, but if your signal causes any kind of interference on their network they can pull law on you.
