I am selling my late father's black iPhone 3G 16GB. The phone has barely been used and is in pristine condition with no scratches or cosmetic damage whatsoever. The phone was originally purchased on a Vodacom contract and is, therefore, local stock, ICASA approved and not networked locked (i.e., it will work with any GSM SIM card).
I have upgraded the phone to the latest iOS 4 operating system, so simply pop your SIM card in, download iTunes, plug the phone into your computer's USB port and you'll be up and running in under five minutes!
The phone comes with all original retail packaging, including a USB wall charger with South African two-prong plug. I am also throwing in a matching black Sena leather holster-style carry case (worth approximately R250).
