For easy access and cost-effective internet on the go, Cell C USB Modems and Smartdata Bundles mean that you can be connected wherever you are. The Cell C network is a high-speed HSPA+ network sent over the 900MHz frequency, which allows signal to travel further than over the common 2100MHz frequency.
Prepaid options
On the prepaid data option there are five different bundles to suit your usage needs, whether you’re an occasional browser or a full-on data-head. On a prepaid option, you can choose a 3GB, 12GB, or 24GB option on the H+900MHz network to accommodate low, medium and high data usage. This means that you can choose how much data you want so that you don’t have to pay extra for internet that you won’t use.
