I have had an Apple iPhone for a couple of months now, and I have had tonnes of friends (and random people) contact me to ask me how I managed to get my iPhone working on the South African networks!
Well, I have essentially put together a couple of steps that you should take in order to get your iPhone working on any of the South African cellphone networks – MTN, Vodacom, CellC or VirginMobile!
Good Luck!
