Cell C<\/a> announced today (30 July 2013) that it signed up over one million customers in July 2013 \u2013 the first time the operator achieved such strong growth.<\/p>\n

“I am exceptionally proud and excited to announce that for the first time in the history of Cell C we have connected more than one million customers in one month,\u201d said Alan Knott-Craig<\/a>, Cell C CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night we broke through the million gross connection barrier bringing our total customer base to over 11.7 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knott-Craig said that while churn is still high, he is encouraged by the steady growth in net additions for the month of July, which as of last night (29 July 2013) totalled over 338,000 connections.<\/p>\n

Cell C is currently the third largest mobile operator behind Vodacom<\/a> with 29.3 million SA subscribers and MTN<\/a> with 25 million. Telkom Mobile<\/a> had 1.5 million subscribers in March 2013.<\/p>\n
