Chains and independents

Of the 2,390 cellphone shops we hold, 1,303 (55%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are MTN (391), Vodacom (337), PEP Cell (229), Telkom (98) and Cell C (84). The other 45% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.

What to check before choosing

• Phone ahead to confirm the business is still trading at the listed address. Our data comes from an open mapping dataset and can be out of date.
• Ask about prices, availability and opening times directly. NearMe does not publish prices or opening hours.
