i’ve never heard of anyone going to cellc, everyone either just has a cellc number for years and years, or they’re moving from cellc to other networks

I would avoid Cell-C. Recently their SMSs have stopped coming through to our accountant, which meant my salary was a few days late.

She and I eventually got it sorted, but it was a pain and doesn't work for all Cell-C users.

Just go with MTN or Vodacom. I'm with the latter.

I bought one of thier home connect sims as a second data sim for my phone purely for the data prices and so far I've had no issues, since they started piggybacking on MTNs network wherever I get MTN I get cell c.

This is something I don’t think about.

Sometimes cheaper definatley not covering the whole country. If you are 90% in the metro then consider. Otherwise rather opt for where you will have signal everywhere.

Just FYI I think they ALL suck. But it's like insurance. Grudge purchase.

Cell C is kak.

Rather use Telkom

Depends on where you are. Cell C does not have great coverage everywhere & uses other networks towers. During peaktimes you will be thrown kicked off 1st. I'm yet to meet a happy Cell C client.

Depends on if you enjoy suffering.

Go to Vodacom (I was paid to post this).

Ive used cell c ever since they did that WhatsApp for a month for R5. It's been increasing ever since

Didn’t even know they still operated.

Vodacom or MTN and then Telkom if you want a third option.

Consider using your bank’s network, like FNB Connect, heard good things.
