$400? You can get it at walmart in the US for $190- the 8gb or $290 for 16GB. Best buy might be a little cheaper actually.

So we use AT&T and I guess we’ll bring our palm treos and blackberries with us if we can’t use our iphones there just as a backup. But I know you can just do roaming but that can be pricey.

How do you people live without GPS, facebook, internet and email on your iphones? That defeats the purpose. I’d go nuts. How would I get anywhere without googlemaps and telenav(gps)?

Welna, if your daughter is not in college yet – then she doesnt need an iphone yet.

Hi all.
There is a new forum for all new South African users of the iPhone. The forum is designed for users who wish to get their iPhones working on SA networks.

See below:

Lets get all SA iPhone users in one place and create a knowledge base for using an iPhone in SA.

Good Luck!

My iphone is now behaving badly on mtn. Rumour is that it uses too much bandwidth at the repeater stations so mtn have new software protocols which throw us off’

My collegue got his Iphone from Canada and had it running on AT&T when he was there in Dec’07 it working perfectly. He’s using vodacom and currently has firmware vers. 2.0.2 which has not given any hassle. I’m eagerly awaiting MTN’s release and from my experience beleive IPhone has finally initiated a mobile relovolution…

Hi All

Iphone currently works on all SA Networks. Use Ziphone (google it) to crack.

For internet surfing use “internet” as you APN. Should do the trick
