It can be difficult to find a good phone at an even better price but MTN has amazing deals for you. I've searched for the best deals under R200 for your liking. These prices are subject to availability and change and are exclusive to MTN stores through out South Africa. Below you shall find a guide to these phones and a short description of the phones and the deal you are getting (i.e Airtime, no. of messages, data.) I am in no way promoting MTN (South Africa) nor its services, I am just trying to give you (my readers) the best deals possible. If you aren't with MTN, do not fear I will have breakdowns of Vodacom, CellC and Tellcom Mobile (previously known as 8ta). So if you are looking to upgrade your current phone - i've got the deals that you want in one place!

SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII MINI - The Galaxy SIII Mini is a really amazing phone, at just
R199/ month , the SIII Mini is a smaller (4 inch) version of the larger (4.8 inch) Galaxy S3. It supports Android Jelly bean 4.1 with Samsung's Touchwiz Nature UX Overlay. A 4 inch Super AMOLED screen. 5MP Camera and a fast dual-core processor! The SIII Mini's screen is the same size as the iPhone 5's screen so the SIII Mini might make a better phone for people who are still getting used to bigger phones like the Galaxy Note with a massive 5.5 inch screen! This deal also includes R100 Airtime Value (incl. VAT), 25 SMSs and 150MB of data. However if you are a person who wants the latest tech, i'd wait for the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to come to MTN. The price of the S3 mini may drop after the South African release of the Galaxy S4 mini, so look out for deals.

I am a not a fan of Blackberry, however I think Blackberry has been working hard to make the Blackberry eco system better and I believe that preservation is what will keep Blackberry afloat. Things like bringing BBM (Blackberry Messaging) to multiple platforms. Blackberry has also promised support for Android Jelly Bean Applications on Blackberry 10.2! That will bring the games you all love to your Blackberry. I am exited to see what Blackberry has planned and I think it is the perfect time to buy the Q5 (if you are a fan of Blackberry). For others like myself, I don't really understand why you should buy the Q5 when you can buy a S3 mini for the same price. Personally I would buy the Q5 because I believe in Blackberry and I think Blackberry is a unique company and the Q5 is a complete reflection of the company. Theres just something about the Q5 that I love. Its something that I cant explain, its just so lovable! Dare I say it but the Q5 is better than the SIII Mini and would more apps and little improvements to Blackberry 10 here and there, it could be the number one mid-range phone on the market. So what are you waiting for ... Get buying!
