Riekie Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 We're thinking of getting our parents an iPhone with a good data plan so we can stay in contact. Currently they're on Email when their PC works... and it is so frustrating not to be able to whatsapp & skype & sms photos (their mobile phone is so ancient, it cannot send or receive photos!) Sadly they havent kept up with technology and now we're sitting in a situation where it's either paper letters (which go missing or arrive 9 months later) or unreliable Email on a dinosaur PC. Does anyone know what an iPhone goes for in South Africa at the moment and what good, affordable data plans are available? Or even prepay? Any info or a link would be helpful please. Thanks!

ChrisH Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) I would recommend going with Cell C, maybe something like a SmartChat 3GB topup package. I find they have the best balance of price and the amount of data you get. I was very sceptical of Cell C when I moved over at the beginning of the year but I haven't had a single issue. Reception is very good in most places. Edited October 17, 2016 by ChrisH added a link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I can't vouch for any particular brand, but for the sake of options, you can also look at MTN and Vodacom, in addition to Cell C mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
