Question about warranty be upheld

I am really tempted to switch to Cell C, but their service record is atrocious.

I'm seriously tempted myself, but I have the same concern.

I'm making the switch - already notified Vodacom in November to cancel my contract which expire in April. I all went well my SIM will be a prepaid on I will then port the number to CellC....

I am going to try a pay as you go first and then go for something more permanent. The Telkom convergence offer of a landline, adsl, cell phone and 3G dongle is also attractive. Calls at 65c per minute compared to R2.65 per minute at MTN and Vodacom.

[Didditmiself]

Actually, I did not think of it that way. (That I paid 2.5 times more for the phone) Dammit!!

Its like HP, we do not consider the total cost of the car over an extended period, we just look at the monthly repayment. Petrol consumption and running cost is often not considered.

The cell phone companies have done their research and they absolutely understand consumer behaviour. They know that South African consumers are stupid, that is why they can charge R2.65 PER MINUTE and even be arrogant about it! All we worry about is whether my phone is smarter than yours.

If the thing works, can send and receive calls and texts, I really don't care whether it's a superzoomzoomhoitytoitypersonhoodextension or not. It helps if it can handle being treated like a shoe at times - like in stepped on, or used to occasionally kill spiders with. (Oh, I have to say I use the camera function a lot in my work - saves me from carrying a handbag to keep stuff in - a pet hate of mine. Gimme pockets on my jeans and I'm good to go.)
