LOL ...read that post and see where I complained. I'll wait and see what MTN/Cell C have got to offer...until then your zealous devotion to Vodacom will be ignored.

Yesterday I saw someone using a Vodafone-branded Blackberry- the one that looks like a phone. Asked him his thoughts on the generic UI and he said he was still getting to grips with it. The device looked a bit bulky though but the screen was nice and bright. How about someone gives us a proper review.

my review of what i know...the 7100v its a more phone(calls) type of blackberry where as the other one 7290 is a more email type phone...
only played with a 7290.
bad points no mp3, no camera, but they will improve and voda will get 3g blackberries as well...
the one thing i like is that it has up to 2 weeks batt life!!!!!!!!!! with lots of use and lotsa calls...!!!! |

What about a review of your V800...and thoughts on the Vodafone UI...any thoughts given to perhaps flashing it to a Z800?

I'm going to need a new SA simcard in July, when I'm back in Mama Afrika for a month or so. There's no ways I'm using my UK sim when in SA due to the obvious expenses.
When I last flew down to SA,my old UK network, T-Mobile, automatically switched to MTN roaming when I switched the cellphone back on at Jhb International.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember a certain chain store renowned for their very cheap clothing were selling Cell C simcards for very little money.
I just want to get a simcard PURELY for calling for that month. Would Cell C be my best bet?

The best sim card you can buy on the Vodacom network is the Vodacom 4U simcard.It retails for R39.It gives you R25 worth of airtime and 2 years service to the Vodacom network + you get per second billing from the 1st second.

LOL@Tahir... He's only here for a couple of weeks, doubt he'll need a 2 year airtime window.

Ya OK but you still have to buy airtime on cheap sim cards and it only save you about R5.For R5 more you are getting more

It seems I can change tariffs on Cell C's PAYG whenever I like, free for the first time & a whole whopping R1.80 after that.
According to Vodacom's website, I can change only once a month, although there is no charge.
As I will be on holiday, I could select the Cell C flat-rate tariff during peak times and benefit from the off-peak costs at night.
It won't be a hassle to change the tariff each day of my holiday....I guess I must just remember to do this!
Gee, I'm a bit of a frugal bugger! I guess its just my penchant for avoiding being ripped-off, if I can help it.
Vodacom may have more features and services, but these are not what I require for a month on holiday.
All our needs are different...that's why I'm such a champion for choice.
