So true
its going to be very interesting, can't exactly stop or arrest two u16s from sucking face, this law im sure will go on ignored just like the law where restaurants aren't allowed to sell alcohol to u18s but they do it anyway.

Hey Branimer (cool name by the way)
There are four networks to choose from but with what you going to be needing I would go for either Vodacom or MTN (good coverage with EDGE/3G and 3.5G/HSDPA country wide)
Here is a pricelist of Vodacoms Data Bundles if you interested.Just do a currency conversion with our South African Rand (ZAR) and see what that translates to for you. (By the way Wangs,give me a comparison of the data bundle prices you get over there in the UK with what I've got below.)
MyMeg150mb=R119.00 (0.79c/mb)
MyMeg250mb=R160.00 (0.64c/mb)
MyMeg500mb=R189.00 (0.38c/mb)
MyMeg1GB=R289.00 (0.28c/mb)
About the Tom Tom software and maps for South Africa Im afraid I can't give you a answer on that one but I'm sure someone here will help you out with an answer.
By the way,what phone do you have? Im always curious
tanks for answers..
just one thing, the pricelist for Vodacoms Data Bundles, is it available for prepaid card too?
I'm using N6120c, I like this phone

Dobry vecer.
I have a spare, unused Vodacom PAYG simcard lying around somewhere. If I find it later, I'll PM you to get a postal address. If you want it, I'll send it to you in Slovakia during this week. Then you could give friends, family and colleagues your mobile SA number before you leave. Don't worry about payment; it cost me next to nothing and a few £'s to post it from the UK to Slovakia won't cause me to starve.
I managed to assist fellow esato member, 'goldenface', in the same way too.
Vodacom is the biggest cellphone network in SA and generally has the best coverage.

@ Branimir:
Ahoj.
I can easily send the simcard to that Protea Hotel in Richard's Bay, but the postal service in SA is not 100% reliable, i.e. I cannot guarantee it will arrive at its intended destination...
Also, there may not be much point sending one from here to SA, as all you would have to do then is ask the hotel staff where the nearest superstores are that sell cellphone simcard packs, like Pick n' Pay, Clicks, etc. and you'll be able to buy one for only a few Rands!
I'm sure the other guys can confirm those bundles for PAYG. Also, I know this may be very obvious, but just make sure the 6120 is unlocked to accept one of the SA sims. SA uses the same frequency bands as Europe.

P1i night pic, taken close to the restaurant that we ate at last night, by Lakeside Shopping Centre, right opposite the local Spur.
'Old Orleans' is a floating pseudo Mississippi paddlesteamer-type restaurant, permanently moored on the lake.

Bran, if you'll pm your contact details to me i'd be happy to post some simcards to you care of the Protea Hotel, mate. Prepaid vouchers are freely available, and once you've loaded a prepaid voucher it's as easy as dialling *111# to convert some of the prepaid amount into a data bundle.

@ Branimir,
Wow, some stunning SA wildlife pics on your Opera blog!
Nice close-up of a 'kudu' too. So easy to identify with those spiraling horns.
I hope that you have another amazing trip to SA.
Just be aware that there are currently frequent power cuts (electricity), due to too much demand and not enough power stations able to cope with the demand. I guess not too much of a problem if you're going to be out amongst wildlife most of the time, but just to take that into account as well...
