How do I set-up my cellphone to get Internet access?

Many new cellphones are already set up. You can also use the MyPhone service, by dialling *111# from your cellphone, select device setup, then follow the prompts. The settings will be sent to your cellphone, which you need to save to enable.

The Internet-APN is "internet"

How to buy a SIM-Card
You can buy a SIM card (Starter-Kit) at many Supermarket-Stores and many other locations. A Starter Kit should not cost more than 30 Rands (at the Airport the Starter Kits cost sometimes over 500 Rands!). You not need a passport or id-card. Actual (Feb 2009) i bought a starter Kit for 0.49 Rand = 3 eurocents.

To check your Account Balance (voice and data) you can Dial *111#

I bought a 3G on the 21st of July 09 and had nothing but troble from day 1. I took it in three times within the first three weeks and they managed to convince it to work for a few days. It was completely broken within the first month and I took it in for repairs. To cut a long story short they say it is beyond repair and refuse to give me a new one. They are however happy to take R200 from my account for 24 months (R4800!!!). I would say that is nothing short of being raped! They never fulfilled the abundant promises along the way and now give me the cutomery stare accorded irrate clients!
