Mangaliso. Interesting developments in TNM. May be you may know why (and I am wondering why) sms service seems to be difficult between countries-I mean a number of people I have sent sms to never recieved them and they have also failed to get through. But there is no problem with Celtel subscribers!
Big Up to you Bro! Been a long time, it's always a pleasure reading what's new in the motherland from a trustworthy source. Thanks for keepin us posted!

Manga,
I share your observations. When I visited home a few months ago, I was of the opinion that Celtel offered better services than TNM. A couple of weeks down the line, I realised that I had made a mistake. I then got myself a new TNM Sim card and I certainly lived happily everafter.
