Cell C launched the Apple iPhone on its network recently, offering consumers the iPhone 4 8GB, iPhone 4s 16GB, iPhone 4s 32GB, and iPhone 4s 64GB.<\/p>\n

Cell C is offering the iPhone on all Cell C Straight Up Post-paid packages and Straight Up TopUp packages, with typical prices ranging between R279 per month (iPhone 4 8GB on a 24-month Straight Up 50 contract), and R799 per month (iPhone 4S 64GB on a 24-month Straight Up 400 package).<\/p>\n

Good news for iPhone enthusiasts is that Cell C is offering 300MB of data for all iPhone sales. If customers select a package where some data is already included, they will receive an additional 300MB of data free of charge.<\/p>\n

iPhone pricing comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n

To accurately compare iPhone packages from Vodacom, MTN and Cell C is challenging, especially considering how difficult it is to find accurate pricing from Vodacom.<\/p>\n

The Vodacom website provides little help to prospective iPhone subscribers regarding what is available, and what they can expect to pay at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges it was possible to create a table which provides an overview of some of the prominent iPhone packages from Vodacom, MTN, and Cell C.<\/p>\n
