Heard it on 947. Was really good ad and expected MTN to hit back actually.

Pussies. We need American-style aggressive ads.

Telkom roams onto the Bozos network when they don't have signal... and honestly I've only ever seen it do it twice on my phone...

Shame! Bozo = a stupid, rude, or insignificant person, especially a man.

True?

Happens all the time for me. Canal Walk Shopping mall has a ton of Telkom Mobile deadzones ironically. Lots of deadzones around Goodwood also.

Having said that, still by far the best service provider for my wallet though.
