Are'nt cellphones expensive?

The short answer is no. Costs vary from provider to provider, but all providers charge per byte and not for the time you spend on the website. Unbundled data connections cost around R2 per megabyte. East page on the SARL Mobile Web are only minute fractions of a megabyte and cost about R0.01 per page. Data prices keep falling as the various providers compete for market share, so watch the press for details.

The results of these pages are formatted for display on a small cell phone screen using limited bandwidth. We've tried out best to use simple code so that most cell phones will be able to use the service.
