Just wondering... Is a zealot worse than a zealout? Both sound kinda scary... In my mind's eye i can see the foam-flecked lips... the bloodshot eyes... the banners demanding death to all who differ from their opinions...

I see everyone including MTN bitching about EDG .But MTN customers who buy 3G data card from MTN will not be able to EDGE.VODACOM and MTN use the same wireless connect cards.Why is everyone so quiet about MTN 3G......With MTN 3G you pay more for video calls and free minutes do not apply.MTN launch 3G today and i dont think they did JUSTICE in marketing 3G..Who is better NOW......Vodacom South Africa's Leading Cellular Network.

@Tahir: No-one has said anything about MTN coz no-one has used the service yet...hopefully I'll use it soon and give my unbiased feedback to everyone on the thread.

Huh buddies,some of you talk about 4G like is going to happen tomorrow.The fact of the matter is,2G took almost 10y to become what it is today.3G was outdated the day it was released because of political matters (took to long to be implemented) Yes 3.5G may be with us in a few years (no major cell manufacturer has a 3.5G handset in store yet nor plans to build one) . 4G is a different network altogether.If you look at its (proposed) coding sheme one can't oversee the similarity to WIMAX-both use orthogonal frq modulation ! Now to talk today about 4G is like talking in '96/'97 about 3G or in '85 about 2G GSM !

Mario. Thanks for your unpassionate message. Nothing could be truer.
I just read that
Vodacom has announced plans for 3.5G, though.
Handsets are not yet available, but data cards would be available by the end of the year and handsets, next year.

BRIX why dont you tell all of us here that MTN CHARGES its customers for VIDEO CALLS and FREE MINUTES do not apply.MTN always said in the past "1 of the reasons we at MTN will delay 3G is because there is not much phones available".Well Well MTN only has 3 3G phones to choose from Vodacom has 5.And as some one posted here that most 3G phones dont support edge.I agree with him EDGE is pretty useless.I will say it again MTN DATA CARD DOES NOT SUPPORT EDGE BUT DOES SUPPORT 3G.

I don't work for MTN so please spare me the hatred. U can join Cosatu and march to MTN's offices and complain about the datacard and the videocalls. BTW they've got 4 phones. Have anyone video called someone recently? Tahir is mad coz MTN have not offered it for free...It doesn't make sense 2 offer it for free as so few people actually use it, I guess it's the same on Vodacom.

Brix what i ment was MTN is charging its 3G customers more for video calls than normal voice calls and free minutes do not apply.With Vodacom video calls and normal voice calls are the same and free minutes do apply.

I don't even want to attempt a video call with 3G reception that's so dire it might take another 6 months till this technology finally embraces the mass market.
