Cell C is 
Ahead of the Curve

Cell C is Ahead of the Curve

Launched in 2001, Cell C is South Africa's third cellular operator with just under seven million subscribers.


In 2010 we're taking the lead in the mobile communications race. We were the first to operate on a dual band network. We were the first to offer cost-effective call options like per second billing. And we're working on even more firsts right now, like building the first 4Gs network in South Africa.

We are the possibilities provider

Cell C looks to the future to bring you the technology of tomorrow today. That's why, above all, Cell C is a provider of possibilities. Every day, more South Africans turn to us for simple, innovative, value-for-money products, exceptional customer service, and the promise of something even better to come.

In the age of the internet the only constant is change. At Cell C we see change as opportunity. So we're connecting with our customers on Facebook, Twitter and MXit. We want to harness the power of the internet to serve you better.

This is just the beginning.
