The iPhone 4 was released by MTN and Vodacom last night. MTN who were not lucky enough to get their hands on the iPhone 3Gs last time around were the first to release pricing and also the first to offer the iPhone 4 to subscribers.

Prices after the break.
MTN has various packages available, much better than Vodacom at the moment who only have one.
MTN Pricing:
Apple iPhone 4 16 GB
MTN AnyTime TopUp - R200 included airtime with a 150 MB internet bundle – R379
MTN AnyTime TopUp - R200 included airtime with a 300 MB internet bundle – R429
Apple iPhone 4 32 GB
MTN AnyTime TopUp- R200 included airtime with a 150 MB internet bundle – R429
MTN AnyTime TopUp - R200 included airtime with a 300 MB internet bundle – R479
That’s for a 24 month contract. Vodacom offer only one bumper deal which seems to be aimed at a higher market although they only offer the iPhone 4 16GB at present.
Vodacom
iPhone Talk 500 – 500 minutes talk time with 250MB data bundle and 100 SMSs – R925
This is also subject to a 24 month contract. It makes you wonder how much profit Vodacom will be making from this with the 32GB most likely heading over the R1000 a month mark or close to it. I would go with MTN for now.

Sure, but you just can’t get any??? Poor forecasting – hope the MTN product manager gets fired for this, really poor business planning…
