I saw cartblanche and apparently criminals are stealing back up batteries in cellphone towers. So the cost of preparing them is possibly reflecting in these price increases-

There are tons of reasons for this on the side of the consumer. The quality of the images you download when you visit websites or even background use. But honestly, just move to Telkom. For R150 I get
2 Gig data
500 MB data
100 SMS’s
350 Telkom to Telkom minutes
250MB YouTube
5gig Music streaming
As well as Telkom wifi data -
You are Definitely not alone! I have had this conversation with so many others who have the same views. I am constantly finding myself with no data or airtime as it literally disappears. I too feel that we an explanation. Its is blatant robbery!
