3G Coverage in South Africa

As most fringsters know, good 3G coverage = good fring voice quality. Good news is that the major cities in South Africa are covered, and the coverage is growing rapidly. Although the 3G coverage in South Africa is limited at the moment, with price and fibre wars in the air this may soon mean better 3G for all.

South Africa only has 2 Networks offering 3G at the moment.
See the coverage maps on their websites.

• VODACOM 3G MAP
• MTN 3G MAP

The other two operators in South Africa, Cellc and Virgin mobile who currently share towers do not as yet support 3G coverage, however competition in the mobile field will force growth in the not to distant future.
