From tomorrow (13 September), Cell C customers roaming in some 58 countries will pay a standard R10 per minute for making and receiving calls, R10 per Mb for data and R2.99 per SMS on certain networks in these countries. “Cell C is continuously working with foreign operators to increase the number of networks and countries where our customers can enjoy a worry-free and predictable roaming experience by providing more affordable roaming rates,” says Jose Dos Santos, Cell C CEO. Customers are advised to manually select discounted networks when roaming to ensure that they always pay the lowest roaming charges. A detailed list of networks and their associated roaming rates will be available from tomorrow on the company’s website.Cell C also continues to offer Wi-Fi Calling as an alternative to roaming, a service that turns any Wi-Fi hotspot into a Cell C base station, effectively allowing customers to make and receive calls as if they were in South Africa, while they are travelling abroad.
