According to Vodacom and MTN, the Samsung Galaxy S5 supports their Long Term Evolution networks.

As might be expected, the “contract” available from First National Bank (FNB), which is for the device only and no cellular service, comes in the cheapest at R399/month for 24 months.

The device-only contract prices are summarised in the table below, sorted by monthly cost:
