675942	2008-06-05 21:17:00	Probably because it's South Africa.	wratterus (105)
675943	2008-06-05 21:21:00	Probably because it's South Africa. Yea our 4 million population vs SAs almost 50 million.	CYaBro (73)
675944	2008-06-05 23:38:00	I am moving to S/A forthwith. Crikey if I do I will save $18. Well worth the trip.	Cicero (40)
675945	2008-06-05 23:52:00	Hang on Cicero, they don't work! I tried one, and the phone does not ring - in or out. No wonder they are cheap - the lazy sods haven't even got a single cell tower here.	R2x1 (4628)

675949	2008-06-06 02:10:00	I think if you buy the Vodafone NZ Prepay Starter Kit on Vodafone's website, you can get them for free if you topup ($20 or $50) during purchase and get either a Bestmate or TXT 2000 add-on. i.e. $35 Starter Kit + $20 Topup + $6 (1 Bestmate) => you pay $26 only or $35 Starter Kit + $20 Topup + $10 (TXT2000) => you pay $30 only. I think that's a better deal.	bonkiebonks (7249)
675950	2008-06-06 02:16:00	They are actually $35, not $20.But you get around $15 credit by the time you've filled in their survey. ;) The SIM card is a one off cost, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. :p	maccrazy (6741)
