Cell C’s 99c For Real prepaid service has gained a great deal of traction in the South African mobile market since it was launched on 20 May 2012.

Cell C CEO, Alan Knott-Craig said that they have shipped more than 4 million 99c For Real starter packs from their warehouse to distribution channels to date. “We have more than 1 million customers on the 99 For Real package,” said Knott-Craig.

Cell C is also showing strong data subscriber growth. “We have more than 3 million data users on our network. We have seen a steady increase in data users and usage,” said Knott-Craig.

Knott-Craig added that the take up of their contract and least cost routing (LCR) services has been “steady”.

Cell C’s contract offerings may be bolstered by the operator’s recent addition of the iPhone to its product range, complementing its existing high-end phones from HTC, BlackBerry, Nokia and Samsung.
