LOL@KBR. There's an interesting discussion on another thread about the bad service that Vodafone 3G gives theircustomers. Anyone have comments on Vodacom 3G?

I wanted an opinion on the service as a whole. Never used it myself... Is the data rates really slow and to what would you compare the speeds?

Talking of pop3, anyone successfully set-up their K700's for Gmail Pop3? My
Phone has a field for SSL/TLS encryption and I marked it off knowing that Gmail uses it. So filled in everything and try to connect but the phone say "wrong account"... What am I to do.

There are as yet no rival to Telkom due to a host of factors...we were supposed to have had a rival to their fixed line service years back but a bad Minister of Communications and in-fighting amongst the winning consortium for the fixed line licence scuppered plans
for competition to the monopoly of Telkom. It is one of the least liked companies in SA.

Called their customer care this morning and the lady on the other side of the line said they were having problems with the GPRS network...she also told me they would still be charging R2/Mb for the foreseeable future. Who cares about MTN if they ain't got anything to offer?

Yip, I work in Vodaworld. Blackberry allows you to receive e-mail in real time - ie. as soon as someone sends you an e-mail it pops up on your Blackberry (like a SMS would). Also, you pay a flat rate which allows you to send and receive as much e-mail as you like at no additional cost! This is great if you and your buddy both have Blackberries - e-mail each other as much as you like (at the speeds of SMS) without being charged per message. We have two models available - 7100v (R2899) and 7290 (R3799).

Are we going to see more branded phones from Vodacom? If this is the case customers will resist this move. Certainly would not have bought my phone if it was branded all over.
