I was surprised to read that 58% use prepaid connections. I thought the figure would be in the high 80s. Then again, with a sample size of 50 respondents... =)

If you ask household helpers, they're practically all prepaid subscribers who purchase load denominations of P30 or P50 every week.

I wonder if someone out there will conduct a more extensive survey.

(Strange... it might just be coincidence but whenever I see security guards or policemen texting in public, I catch them using a blue Nokia 2100.)
