Cell C is currently offering packages on the LG Optimus G Pro smart phone. This network is a reliable and trustworthy company which has won over a major section of the South African market through providing exceptional customer service and a variety of value packed deals. With one of the fastest internet connections in the country, you are sure of getting the most out of the great little gadget.
To get this great little phone with Cell C, you can get the Straight Up 100 for R369 per month which includes 100 airtime minutes, 100 sms’s/mms’s and 400MB of data. By upgrading or signing up for this deal you could win 1 of 100 LG docking stations. Listed below are a few of the deals Cell C is offering on different phones to give you an idea of how the deal compares to others.
A comparable deal would be the Samsung Galaxy SIII on Straight Up 100 for R329 per month which includes the same airtime and sms’s/mms’s as the LG deal, but just 100MB of data.
Another comparable deal from Cell C would be the Apple iPhone 6 16GB on Straight Up 100 for R399 per month which includes the same minutes, sms’s/mms’s and data as the LG deal.
As you can see, the extra data included in the LG deal really adds value, as this is a smart phone, you will more than likely be using it extensively for internet browsing, downloads and applications, so getting the data at a discount is really worth it! Granted, the phone isn’t as sought after as the iPhone or the Galaxy SIII, but for no reason other than their brand names. So if you’re not tied down by labels, you can save yourself a little extra cash here. On the other hand, LG is still a great brand name, so even if you are concerned with brand names, be original and get something that’s a little different than what your friends have – without compromising on performance. The Android operating system is also offered on the Galaxy SIII, so you’re basically getting the same phone. The iPhone operating system is a little limiting if you don’t have any other Apple products, because you can’t sync it as easily with other devices as you’d like – so you’ll need to take that into consideration.
Before signing up for any cell phone contract, you should be careful to ensure you consider all of the options and choose the right deal for your requirements. If you’re making more calls than sms’s, you need to factor that in – your usage will affect the type of contract that suits you best. If you have questions or would like some advice, contact your closest Cell C dealer to see what they would advise. They have very helpful staff who are fully trained to help with your queries and can assist you with your decision. Don’t feel rushed into making a decision, 24 months is a long time and it’s a big commitment, especially if you’re paying too much or getting too little out of the deal!

In a similar way that the iPhone 4S was an upgraded version of the iPhone 4, the 5S follows the same route. It looks identical to the iPhone 5, but the internal hardware is a definite upgrade. These means you have a substantially faster processor and the ability to watch and use much higher graphics.
The camera has also been upgraded also also includes the ability to take slow motion video footage. The biggest upgrade though is the fingerprint scanner. This sits on the circle “home” button, and can be used to unlock your phone as well as for buying items on itunes instead of having to enter your itunes credentials.

All three of the major networks in South Africa, Vodacom, MTN and Cell C are offering contracts for the Blackberry 9320, in a variety of different packages and price ranges. When looking for a cell phone contract, it’s always advisable to choose a network that is reliable, well known, and offers wide coverage throughout the country. This helps when travelling, so you are always assured of good service and can use your phone wherever you are. You want a company you can trust – if your phone is stolen or breaks, you want to know that you can trust them to endeavour to help you out. With a smaller network you lose out on these advantages and can easily become the victim of bad administration.
At Vodacom, you can get the Top Up 99 Vodacom 4 Less package for R169 per month for 24 months which includes R99 inclusive airtime, R2.60 per minute billing for Vodacom to Vodacom calls, R2.89 per minute billing for Vodacom to other networks, 80c per sms during peak hours and 35c per sms during off peak hours.

Whichever of these contracts you choose, consider a few of the following questions in order to specify exactly which package fits your lifestyle best. Do you use your phone much for internet browsing and downloads? How much can you afford to spend each month on your cellphone? How many calls and sms’s do you make each month? If you are having any trouble answering these questions you can call a customer care centre of any of the networks above and ask their recommendations. Their staff are helpful and happy to assist with advising what products would best suit your lifestyle. You don’t want a contract that you don’t use fully each month, and alternatively you don’t want a package that you have to keep topping up (at exorbitant out of bundle rates!).
Once you’ve chosen the contract that you’d like, make sure that you speak to the representative about any concerns or queries you have so you can get the low down on all the fine print before you’re committed! Most contracts are 24 months long – that’s a long time to be paying too much or getting too little!

Listed below is a breakdown of the various contracts offered by Vodacom for the Samsung S4 Mini.
Beginning with the Smart S Plan which costs R299 per month for 24 months, which includes 75 anytime minutes, 75MB of data, 150 sms’s and an additional 125MB of promotional data. This is a great entry level package which doesn’t cost too much, but still delivers a great phone that you can have loads of fun with – perfect if you’re getting a phone for you kids!
Next up is the Smart M Plan which costs R389 per month for 24 months, which includes 120 anytime minutes, 120MB of data, 240 sms’s and an additional 180MB of promotional data. This middle of the road package offers a larger package without being too expensive, so if you’re using your phone quite often this will handle more use than the basic deal.
Lastly is the Smart L Plan which costs R499 per month for 24 months, which includes 250 anytime minutes, 250MB of data, 500 sms’s and an additional 250MB of promotional data. As this is the largest package it gives you the ability to use your phone all through the month as much as possible with the best rates for that much usage.

You can also save R290 on any of these contracts if you order online at www.vodacom.co.za.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini combines all the capability of larger smart phones without the added bulk and difficult handling. It’s sleek design and great looks will have you hooked from the start – don’t miss out, get one today!
]]>Because this is an entry level phone, there are plenty of deals on the market where you can pick one of them up. Networks always strive to offer competitive rates, but be sure that the network you choose is reliable, has a good name in the industry and has a wide service range in the area where you are most likely to be using the phone. There’s no use in choosing a cheap contract when you can’t even use the phone anyway! The three biggest networks currently operating in South Africa are Cell C, Mtn and Vodacom. These three are pretty well known and are probably the most reliable. These three companies are all offering deals on the Samsung Galaxy Pocket, as you can see below.
Vodacom is currently offering the Samsung Galaxy Pocket for just R99 per month on the Top Up 99 Vodacom 4 Less contract. It’s a 2 year contract which includes R99 airtime, 4.333c per second billing for calls and 80c for sms’s during peak hours, 35c for sms’s during off peak hours. Although this is a pretty small package, you can top up at any time and it gives you the freedom to budget your spending. It’s ideal if you want to get a phone for your kids!
Cell C is offering a very competitive contract at R69 per month, on the Straight Up 30 TopUp, you get 30 minutes, 30 sms’s/mms’s and 30MB of data. True to form, Cell C is quick, efficient and up front with this deal – it’s affordable, flexible and offers great value. If this is your first cell phone contract, and you don’t want anything too serious or too expensive, this is one of the best deals out there.
Currently Mtn is offering the Galaxy Pocket on an anytime 100 package which is R69 per month for 24 months. This deal includes R100 airtime per month, 25 sms’s and 10MB of data. This deal includes the most airtime of the three, but the least sms’s and data, so if you call more than sms, this one’s for you!
Provided you know which phone you want and how much you can afford each month, getting the contract is the easy part. Take some time to work these details out and once you are sure, have a look around for the deal that best suits you. If you’re having trouble working out what each contract includes or costs, call up an agent from the network – they’re usually very happy to help you with any questions you have, and may have good advice for you. Keep in mind what your needs are so that you don’t get lead astray though! All the network jargon can get pretty intimidating. Some things to be wary of are the out of bundle rates being exorbitantly high, whether or not they offer coverage in your area, and what the startup fees are – they can be pretty shocking if you aren’t expecting them!
Before signing any contracts, make sure you read through everything and understand it all. Unfortunately the CPA doesn’t always live up to the hype, so make sure you know what you’re signing! If you don’t understand anything, take your time and ask – caution is your friend!
