We have been happily talking on Friends and Family tariff at 1/= over the last year or so. I am sure Orange is losing money on this, but we can hardly be blamed for that. Besides, I still maintain my landline, so the Orange Sim comes in handy to call my house.
I have also been using the Orange Niaje tariff to make calls to landlines at 4/= and I make plenty of those. A lot of offices in this country still have landlines. With their new 2/= tariff on intra-network calls and free calls from 10.00 to 5.00, I am making significant savings.

It pains me to even hear the word Telkom. When they had their time, they screwed us right, left and centre. Nepotism was the order of the day, blackmail was at high noon (they mess your line and when you call them to reconnect you, you had to cough a thousand to grease hands.
Parents did not allow children in the house make calls cauze if bills were inflated by Telkom, the blame would go to the children. I was whacked enough times on their behalf.
Then came telkom huaei data card and I paid 18,000 for it. The skalawags promised that a flat rate would be introduced within the end of month. Nothing happened.
Every dog has its day, the mongrel had its day, the golden retriver is having its day now, let the mongrel die a painful death.
Telkom should be allowed to die a natural death to wipe past painful experiences caused by it. If it does not want to die, we should murder it. Actually, at one time, I thought of burying it seven feet under. Telkom, please die, just die.
Go overdrive in purchasing the goods when there's blood on the streets, expecially if the blood is your own
