Thanx Tahir, am giving it some hasty consideration, since tomorrow's 24th. Amawanqa, will the Airport strike not affect your flights? As for Cell C.... Bloody numpties!

@ Kryptik,
Thanks for letting me know. I quickly made a few phone calls to SA after reading your post. From what I hear back home,some international flights had to be cancelled due to the ground crew strikes, but thankfully most flights seem to still be OK. Well I hope this doesn't deteriorate any further tomorrow...not much I can do about it, I guess.
Speaking of phoning home, your friend in the UK might know of this, but if he dials Call-Thru SA on 08444 844000 from a UK landline,it only costs 3p a minute to phone any SA landline.There is no hidden charges or connection fee crap,just a 3p flat rate. It appears on the landline bill,fully itemised.
So,with this in mind, doesn't it mean that it is cheaper to phone SA from the UK using this access number than to phone another landline within SA using Telkom...?Food for thought...
To call an SA cell number, a different Call-Thru SA access number needs to be used: 0911 500 4000, at 15p flat rate.
When more people start using VOIP both here and back home,I would be very keen to see if landline companies decide to 'adjust' their prices,in favour of the consumer...

@Amawanqa, thanx for that info, am definitely forwarding it to my mates there. That's bloody cheap!!! Regarding ACSA ground crew situation, radio reported earlier that the situation seems to have stabilised for now, so it hopefully won't thwart your arrangements.

Saw them advertising their new sms bundles...quite cheap for those of us who text a lot. Why can't networks charge a flat fee for unlimited wap-only browsing? Now that would be revolutionary.

They wouldn't.dare do that since it would impact on their profitability... Would be a godsend if they did though.

Busy surfing the net at London City Airport in east London's Docklands area,while waiting for the boarding gate to open.Then it's off to Frankfurt and Lufthansa to Jozi.
As one can imagine, there is a strong armed police presence here, all carrying the 9mm Heckler & Koch machine guns that the Special Air Service (SAS)made so famous.Sniffer dogs filtering between luggage and people etc.
Another unusual handset I spotted on
www.gsmarena.com is the LG m3440, with its sleek Porsche 911-influenced lines.How's this for a feature:sod any megapixel camera, it has an integrated....breath analyser/ sobriety tester! Can you imagine what it will look like blowing into the phone's sensor at parties before driving home...people will truly believe you've had too much to drink ...?LOL!!
Anway, time to go. SA here we come.
