Vodacom has quietly launched its new “pay-once data bundles”, offering consumers 1GB of data every 30 days for a year at R1,199 – or 2GB of data every 30 days for a year at R1,999.
“With our new Pay Once Prepaid data bundles promotion, you can forget the hassle of having to buy data bundles every month. From 1 August to 30 September 2012, you can pay upfront and get either 1GB or 2GB of data every 30 days for a year,” Vodacom explained.
The new Vodacom “pay-once data bundles” are similar to Cell C’s prepaid Smartdata SIM-only packages, which offer subscribers 2GB every 30 days for a year at R1,299.
8ta is currently running a similar promotion, offering consumers 60GB of data (with another 60GB after hours data) at R1,800.
