Thanks for the info! I bought VodaCom SIM with 1GB data from Woolworths in CPT airport, for 1+149=150Rand. The resigter ppl of Woolworths asked me to activate the SIM at VodaCom shop, so went to the shop nearby, however VodaCom staffs are angry at me because I didn't buy from them, and said they can activate SIM card bought from them. I don't want to spend too much time on this, so I spend another 50Rand to get the same type SIM card on hand, just let them activate and charge the 1GB plan for me. So, - If you want to buy from Woolworths, remember to insist to activate the SIM immediately. - I have one spare SIM, if anyone need it, I can give it for free.
