Cell C now offers R10 per minute international roaming rate

In what appears to be an effort to keep customers connected no matter where in the world they are, Cell C has dropped its international roaming rates for 58 destinations.

From 13th September Cell C subscribers will be able to make calls at a rate of R10 per minute. Data will be charged at R10 per megabyte and text messages will cost R2.99 each. We have to say, those are pretty decent rates.

However, to enjoy these discounted rates Cell C customers will need to manually select discounted networks when roaming. A list of these networks will be made available on Cell C’s website from 13th September.

Something to note however is that on Emtel in Mauritius and Netone in Zimbabwe the rates will differ. If you use the Emtel network calls will be charged at R20 per minute while data will cost you R20 per MB. On Netone subscribers will pay R15 per minute for calls and R15 per MB.

“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,” Cell C’s chief executive officer, Jose dos Santos said in a statement.
