I can only speak for MTN & Vodacom - no experience of Cell C except for
their annoying calls once a week to offer me their latest specials..!!
My wife just ported from Voda to MTN because she was having endless grief on
the Voda network.. Seems like they are both equally as bad, depending on who
you speak to..!!
The porting was a mission but everything did eventually work out (about 2
weeks after the port)..
The main issues that we had were :
*
The switch over from one network to the other only happened about 4
days after Vodacom cancelled the contract from their side - NO line for that
time..!!
*
For about two weeks, instead of going through to mailbox, the caller
was told that the number does not exist.!!
*
We were warned about incoming callers being subject to a terrible
BEEP when dialing a number that has been ported, but this is not an issue at
all. There is a beep but it is negligible.
My advice would be to choose a network based on the following :
* What network are the majority of the people who you call on ? The
switching cost to call between networks is very high.
* Which network offers the better reception in the areas where you
spend most of your time ?
* The cost structure of MTN & Voda is actually very different. Look
into both & see which suits you best. You may save money by porting to the
other network.
My 2c worth..

Justin

Yup, to the best of my knowledge CellC still piggyback off the Vodacom
network, but I have no experience of them. I'm also thinking of switching
with all the problems on the MTN network recently, but back to Vodacom, not
to CellC. I'm a little bit weary of number portability though. Admittedly
it's a sample of 1 but I know someone who had a lot of trouble with NP after
switching from MTN to Vodacom. Incoming calls not getting through etc.
Eventually he gave up and took a new number from Vodacom.

Heya Rob,
I have overheard people saying stuff like..... Cellc is running on
Vodacom network... so you getting Vodacom connectivity, except if
vodacom gets busy, then apparently Cell-c guys get bumped...
So not sure how much is rumour vs fact...
Also coming to an end with MTN and deciding if its time to go
voda....and do the # portability thing... there is a MTN and a voda
shop at the moo mall... the mTN folks you have to beg for help and
they never have stock of the phone you want...and keep trying to get
me to go for some other phone I don't want...
popped into voda.. man they were on the ball, had stock and understood
the technology I was looking for.. etc..etc..
but still thinkin about it..
