@brix
I got almost 128kbs with MTN the other night. With voda the fastest i ever got was 20kbs. Am sure once the network upgrades are complete the speed will be greater.

I think that MTN uses only Ericsson equipment across the network makes them faster. 120kbps... Do you have the tower in your backyard? You should check your radiation levels...LOL.

Does anyone know if MTN has launched EDGE in SA? I can't seem to find any information about this.

To check if you have EDGE on MTN.You cell broadcast will display YELLO BROADBAND.To check if you have 3G coverage with Vodacom.You cell broadcast will display 3G enabled.

@bradboy: Unfortunately the downside of having a branded phone is that features like "My Friends" have been removed from the F500i by Vodafone. Unless you flash your phone back to the original firmware of the K500i "My Friends" and Yamigo will remain a distant dream.

Dont worry Bradboy the Instant Messaging that will be launched in SA has been approved by Vodacom.The company that will launch it will have a soloution for all phones.All networks have signed agreements with this company.WITH THIS IM YOU CAN ALSO SEND IT TO NORMAL CELL NUMBERS WHICH NO OTHER IM CAN DO BECAUSE ITS A LICENCED VERSION

Chaps,if you really want/must have instant messaging,buy yourself a 'smart phone' and install AgileMessenger for free ! I have been tested/used different programs for years now and nothing comes even close to Agile.You may find another program doing this and that better,but as a package Agile is king. Don't waste your time,learn from my experience.
