    Will my coverage be worse if I switch from Vodacom to MTN?

    Thanks this is a good idea - I have an iPhone XS Max which apparently has eSIM capability, so I can put an MTN number in with that and switch back to my vodacom sim as needed and test it that way. I'm a bit dense so never knew this was an option. Thanks guys

    Will my coverage be worse if I switch from Vodacom to MTN?

    I’m thinking of doing a sim port to take advantage of Afrihost air prepaid data prices. However, some folks have told me MTN is bad compared to Vodacom, especially during loadshedding. If I port over, will my coverage and signal quality be worse than my current Vodacom sim? If so, it not...

    Can I buy a Google Pixel phone overseas and use it in ZA?

    Hi guys, I'm severely dumb when it comes to phones. Sorry if this is a basic question: Do Google Pixel phones work with our local service providers? Has anyone had an issue using one of these phones in ZA? I'm traveling later in the year and am thinking of getting one overseas and using it...

    Where/how do I dispose of 12v garage door batteries?

    I've got a bunch of these depleted 12 volt lead acid batteries stacked up (gate/garage/alarm eating through them over the years because of loadshedding 😡) and I remember reading/hearing somewhere that they need to disposed of seperately from normal rubbish. Where/how do I get rid of these in...

    How do I get the most accurate book value on a car?

    Thank you guys, I so so appreciate the advice, I'm not the smartest when it comes to car dealings so you've given me vital info to get the ball rolling 😁 It's a 2015 2.4L 2x4 raised body SRX Hilux (odo 73k), paid R250k for it in 2017. Will be very interesting to see what it's worth now 🤔

    Favourite movie of 2022 so far!

    The Northman is pretty interesting, like an art house gritty action movie

    NAD and other amp repairs in Cape Town

    I think NAD's official technicians used to be based in Observatory (just off the highway), but they may have moved

    How new cars trick you with pre-recorded engine noise

    If my car is gonna play engine noises through the speakers at me, I at least want some options like V8, F1, truck, hyperdrive, etc 🤷‍♂️

    Soundbar recommendations +-R13,000

    Maybe buy a sub to go with the soundbar? Could pick up a bit of the slack perhaps 🤔

    How do I get the most accurate book value on a car?

    Hi all, I'm wanting to sell my Hilux and need to figure out the best secondhand value. Do I just call a bunch of Toyota dealerships and ask them the book price? AFAIK these bakkies are in high demand at the moment so I'd like to get the most out of it. The numbers for similar models on...

    This song brings tears to my eyes.

    James Blunt gets a lot of hate but he does have some genuinely good songs

    Might seem like Blasphemy to some

    Hmm, higher end cables are probably better than the cheapest cables, but the amount of actual sound improvement between a dependable mid-range cable and a super high end expensive cable is probably not worth the cost. Cables are the last thing one should be sinking money into in a system, only...

    Should I change my monitor speakers from Audioengine A5+ to JBL 305P MKII?

    Ok update on this mission. I decided to keep the AE's and spend the cash on a dedicated guitar amp and studio headphones instead since it gives me much more versatility for the same bucks
