Vodacom vs MTN iPhone 5s contracts

I'm at the point to upgrade, so I did a bit of an investigation regarding Vodacom's contracts for the Iphone 5s contracts. I have a 32GB Iphone 4s, so I wouldn't mind have an equivalent. My current cost of the contract is plus minus R620.

Vodacom is running a special on their Iphone 5S 32GB. For the Iphone 5s, on the Smart L (250minutes, 500MB, ignore the SMSes), + you get another 500MB, it is, wait for it....R799. Yes, the same contract I have now, is R180 more expensive. Exchange rate, etc. can be used as an excuse, but it doesn't explain MTN.

If you go for the closest MTN Iphone 5S 32GB package, it consists of 200minutes, 300MB, at R619. If you had a bolton of 1GB @ R89, it works out at R708, oushing up the data to 1.3GB

Yes, ladies and gents. You can built a MTN package, with more data (which works great as I use Skype and FaceTime) for nearly R100 cheaper than Vodacom. No wonder Vodacom is pushing free data, because their package is over priced. :wtf:

I haven't look at Cell C or Telkom (they are cheaper generally), but after my Cell C fiasco (yes, guys, number porting isn't that difficult), they are not currently an option.
