Prepaid Data in South Africa
 

Does anyone know a good system. I have a friend there for five weeks who is looking at a cell modem as an alternative to dial up. Thanks.

I used a Vodacom 3G prepaid data bundle and was pretty happy with it. I bought the SIM from a local dealer and used it in a Huawei E220 modem.

I just came back from RSA a few days ago. The best is prepaid Vodacom 3G or MTN 3G bundle. I used 2Gig Vodacom. It had worked very well indeed.
