Cell C<\/a> currently has 9.4 million customers, and is signing up 700,000 new subscribers each month according to Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it is currently not clear what Cell C\u2019s net additions are as this is a figure which the company would not disclose.<\/p>\n

When Knott-Craig took over as Cell C CEO in April 2012 he said he wanted to grow the mobile operator\u2019s market share in South Africa to 25% within the next three years.<\/p>\n

This essentially means that Cell C will have to double its current market share within three years \u2013 not an easy task considering that many high end subscribers are signed into contracts with Vodacom<\/a> and MTN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Knott-Craig has attracted a lot of attention in the local cellular space by slashing voice and data prices, and by introducing innovative new contract packages.<\/p>\n

To date Vodacom and MTN have not responded to Cell C\u2019s price moves in the voice space, which may assist Cell C to gain market share, especially in the price sensitive prepaid market.<\/p>\n
