Vodacom<\/a> has revealed that it plans to offer the recently announced HTC One<\/a> \u201cwithin the next few months\u201d, while Virgin Mobile<\/a> and Cell C<\/a> said that they aren\u2019t able to confirm any details at this stage.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Vodacom and Cell C are mentioned among the list of 185 operators HTC said would carry its new flagship Android device.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth keeping in mind, however, that operators may express a strong interest in carrying a device but reserve the right to put it through testing before making a commitment to acquire stock, or \u201cranging\u201d it.<\/p>\n

Cell C\u2019s unwillingness to disclose details, even though HTC names them as a carrier that will offer the device, could therefore mean that the operator has yet to test the device on its network.<\/p>\n

As far as pricing is concerned, Vodacom said \u201cit\u2019s too early to confirm pricing information at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Virgin Mobile spokesperson explained that they are still working with HTC and so can\u2019t confirm ranging and price to customers right now.<\/p>\n

8ta<\/a> and MTN<\/a> were also asked whether they would offer the HTC One, but did not respond by the time of publication.<\/p>\n
