3 G/GPRS Rates in Mozambique

Hi Garth,

10 Out of 10 for trying ! I think it is going to be cheaper on the pocket and far less frustrating just leaving ( read "forget" ) the laptop at home.

And Insulin, yes this deep sea fishing thing is actually just a fish feeding exercise. ( and not using regular bait ) The best thing here is to buy your fish at the local P & P fish counter with far less stressful consequences.

Thanks man ! I need a bit of a rest.

Ok, let me tell you what I have come across.

I managed to get a Vodacom Moz simcard from a friend and he says that with this prepaid simcard one can access the net and make phone calls at Moz. rates which is FAR cheaper than using roaming.
This is obviously provided there is data coverage and I have been told there is but not as fast as local.
So, wish me luck !

Ok, back from Moz. and it was a lovely break !
I really do not know why way back when the boere were semi in charge they did not "take over" this part of the world as well. Lovely part of the world BUT you need to be able to stand your ground against Mozzies. Must be zilloins there and they do bite !
Back to the 3G situation.................. the simcard I bought was data enabled and even allowed you access via the phone, but not via the 3 G modem. You have to ask the local service provider in Maputo to enable the data to be used on the modem. You cannot do this while out in the sticks. So anyone wanting to use your modem, you have to get this activated in Maputo.
What I did was to go to Barra Lodge and use their Wi Fi hotspot. Not cheap but at least you can get connectivity.
