Hello, Dubai Stu.

Here's a link from MTN with more info: http://www.mtn.co.za/MTNServices/RIC...oregister.aspx

It does look like you need to allow time or use a non-SA cellphone. I'm not sure your best friend's wife will be enough. I'd like to think registration could be done online, but apparently not. I had no SA ID book or utility bill, hence the need for written confirmation from the hotel.

Good luck!
