Still available.
Space is scarce in SA. I paid for Complete package which is about 1500 rand and 25k in Naija, then U face the wahala of SA phone no for activation. Its only a South African No. that can activate it and its one phone number to one Reciever. But when U finally see E.HD u will know its worth it.
