While Cell C is a leading mobile provider in South Africa, it has been offering a wide range of services and mobile and data deals, as the third cell network after Vodacom and MTN Group, and the first cellular provider operating a dual band GSM 900/1800 MHz data network, with over 11.5 million subscribers in the country.

Mirage Telcom on the other hand is a professional web design company operating since 2010, providing web development solutions for companies or individuals interested in outsourcing their web design and web application development needs. It is a pioneer in rendering dynamic and professional web based solutions for small to large enterprises as well as other web design companies.
