Default SIM Card

In Cape Town you will need a South African SIM card. I recommend
Vodacom because I think their coverage is best. However you can also
try Cell C and MTM. You can purchase SIM cards almost anywhere

At Victoria Falls you will need either a Zimbabwean or Zambian SIM
card depending on which side you'll be spending most time in. These
can be purchased at Victoria Falls Town (Zimbabwe) , or in Livingstone
(Zambia).

The card you purchase in South Arfica WILL NOT WORK in Zimbabwe or
Zambia in spite of any promises the moronic and incompetent staff
member at the SA cellular shop tries to make. Only contract customers
can have international roaming. You can tell that this is a "pet hate"
of mine...:-)

Marc

When I travel abroad I usually purchase a Prepaid SIM Card for my GSM cell

Victoria Falls and Cape Town?
Thanks in advance.
