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.

If you are going to use GPRS on Cell C.Just remember they are going to charge you R40 a meg.Vodacom and MTN chargers you only R2.00 a meg.Vodacom does have a package throught the day you pay R2.70 a minute thereafter every minute is R1.55.This package is called SMARTSTEP.About 11million South African prepaid customers choose Vodacom.......Yebo GoGo

Oh no, not the Duban July!!!(Hmm, I see Vodacom is advertising it on their site too, Tahir...)
The only thing remotely interesting about the Durban July (for me)is some of the wacky fashions people parade around in at SA's premier horseracing event, hoping the tv cameras might just notice them.
Personally, I couldn't give a flying monkey's about horseracing in general. Perhaps if I was a betting man I might have somewhat more of an appreciation for it.
I'd rather watch the SA cricket team on Sky Sports trying to climb the world rankings again after doing a lot better in the West Indies lately...I am still very (proudly) South African.
Tks for the info anyway,Tahir. Co-incidently(?), Vodafone UK also have a PAYG option called Smart Step...

This evening saw an ad by Vodacom for the Vodafone-branded Sharp GX30(?) which is going for R999...nice and cheap... I'm expecting it to be much cheaper in a couple of months.
