Connectivity

Connectivity - Data, signal, calls, etc

We bought sim cards in Ariamsvlei for R10.  And 'airtime' that could be converted to calls, data, etc.  No id necessary.

The code you have type in (from the little 'scratch card') is entered without # marks where it is shown, but have to end with a # mark, where but the # sign is not shown.  This took 'some asking' to get connected.

My sim card was too big, so i bought a new one in KMH, for R7.00.  Had to show id and sign a form.  No address needed.  Here i bought a 'bundle' for N$30 (N$ = R1).  This is only valid for a week, but you get something like 6000 seconds to talk (1.7 hours apprx), 700sms, i think 1 gig of data.  So VERY cheap.  This means 4 x R30 for four weeks. If there is a catch, it is that there is very little 'signal' except in towns, and none in the outlying places.  Also, it seems we can't phone out of Namibia (yet).  We'll sort that out at the next MTC (maybe).

We get Whatsapp as normal (probably Google Account based?).
