South Africa is often associated with high telecoms costs, but there are a few deals available which can help cash-strapped consumers save a few Rands on their monthly telecommunications bill.<\/p>\n
Here are a few of the better Internet deals on the market. It should be noted that this is by no means an exhaustive, well-researched list, but rather a short summary of a few deals which the author handpicked.<\/p>\n
R 139.00 Nashua ADSL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Still the best ADSL deal in town – at R 139.00 per month on a 12 month contract Nashua gives users a 384 Kbps ADSL subscription, 1 GB ADSL Data, a 4 GB POP Mailbox, a Billion Wi-fi ADSL Router and a free fax to e-mail. Not many ISPs come close to Nashua Mobile’s offer.<\/p>\n R 69.00 Vodacom Blackberry<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n At R 69.00 per month for unlimited Internet usage and email this is certainly one of the best deals around. Blackberry and Vodacom also throw in Vodafone Sat Nav GPS navigation to sweeten the deal.<\/p>\n Neotel NeoConnect<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If you are in a Neotel coverage area and looking for an Internet and Telephony service you may be well advised to consider one of Neotel’s NeoConnect offerings. These range from an entry level 2 GB NeoConnect Lite service with free on-net minutes and SMSs for R 299.00 per month to an uncapped NeoConnect Prime service with lots of free on-net and off-net minutes and SMSs. <\/p>\n A further advantage of the NeoConnect offerings are that they provide a ‘best-of-both-worlds’. The 24 month contract and monthly payment subsidizes the cost of the device, but you still have the freedom to can cancel your contract at any time and you will then only be liable for the outstanding device cost. <\/p>\n
