How to Choose
- Go to your own network for SIM swaps, contract upgrades, cancellations and billing. Retailers cannot usually access your account.
- Take your ID. SIM swaps and new contracts need your original ID, and contracts usually need proof of address and bank details too.
- Check coverage first on the network’s website before signing for fibre, LTE or a data contract.
- Compare the Sunday hours. MTN closes at 14:00 on Sundays, an hour before Telkom and the mall.
- Use a retailer for prepaid. PEP Cell and Ackermans Connect are often quicker for airtime, data bundles and a basic prepaid phone.
