Choosing the best smartphone deal
Everyone wants to know “what’s the best smart phone deal for me?”, the problem is that there is no one answer.
The best deal is dependent on what suits your budget and needs. Some people may want the latest iPhone with minutes and data from MTN, others may want any smart phone just so long as it runs off Android, they may not even need airtime because their phone will only be used on Wi-Fi when at home. Others may need a budget smart phone for their child to play on, they will of course need a lot of data!
The choice of Network operator (MTN, Telkom, Cell C, Vodacom), coupled with the manufacturer (Apple, Samsung, Huawei, LG, Hisense) as well as the choice between airtime and data all make up the final monthly contract price.
Take MTN for instance. MTN have multiple talk plans (Mega Gigs XS, Mega Talk M, Data, SKY Gold, Mega Gigs S TopUp. Just to name a few!). Talk plans are then attached to multiple devices (iPhone 11, iPhone 12, Galaxy S23, Galaxy A23, Huawei Y9a… the list really does seem endless). All these variances make up over 2,000 smartphone contract deals!
So, you can see that the list of “the best cell phone deal” is endless and difficult to navigate. Phonefinder exists to make the hunt for the perfect cell phone deal possible.

From there simply click on the deal, fill in the contact form and wait for the Network’s sales agent to contact you.

Were you declined a cell phone contract deal?
The unpleasant truth is that in South Africa over 70% of all Network contract applications are declined. Network operators require applicants to pass their scorecards so that they can limit their risks (a cell phone contract is after al a sizeable loan).
Phonefinder solves this problem by partnering with multiple MVNOs (Mobile virtual network operators) such as Smart Mobile and Intellicell. MVNOs can sometimes accept an application which was declined elsewhere. This enables Phonefinder to put a deal in more pockets!
