In many cases you can swap 021 to 027 prefix anyway except the old 6digit gsm numbers will be a problem

Yes I wonder about how Voda and Telecom will deal with home-network calls with different prefixs. Eg a if I had a 021/GSM phone calling a GSM phone with a 027/CDMA prefix would the network be able to tell that the receiving call is Vodafone and bill it at the correct rate -- or would the 027 prefix confuse the billing system and incorrectly charge it at normal cross-network rate.

I'm not fond of different prices for cross-network calls -- i'ld rather it was all at the same rate. Would save a lot of hassle, especially with number portability!
