As far as I know no they do not stack or extend expiry dates like MTN does. It might have just been a bug. I have tried it but when checking the data balance via *111# each data bundle had it's own expiry date

Looks like Voda 79c has been made permanent - first time it has ever appeared on the PREPAID page on the Vodacom site: http://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/shopping/plans/plans?planType=Airtime plan&paymentMode=Prepaid
MTN prepaid LTE simcard with Afrihost or Axxess apn option. Cheapest solution for LTE data atm I think.
Rsaweb are joining the MTN mobile data party with similar pricing to Afrihost and Axxess, though their upfront payment for a year option makes them cheaper. I can't see details of an APN-only option though.
These bundles would put MTN ahead and make them the *Cheapest prepaid option for both voice and data.
Using the bundles below just for voice and afrihost or axxess apn option for data would mean you get the lowest price possible beating most contract rates too.

Where can I find mtn bundle details? Data bundle prices, etc?
On prepaid if you want to buy directly from MTN you can see my post here

Otherwise you can check the Afrihost and Axxess websites for mobile data prices. Remember that the apn option from Afrihost or Axxess also works on MTN prepaid and works with LTE too.
specific details using USSD strings to add recurring or adhoc MTN signature bundles can be found at http://www.mtnblog.co.za/mtn-signature-bundles/
Bought 100mb data bundle this morning using 100 Vodacom talking points. Now I see in the android Voda app it says it is valid until the end of November and it is lisyed under reoccurring bundles?! Does using talking points auto subscribe one to reoccurring bundles?
It should not as it was a points redemption and not a bundle purchase with airtime. It might just be listed incorrectly in the app.
No option to cancel this (I imagine there should be if this was a proper recurring bundle) so maybe they just call a talking points bundle recurring to give it until the following month to use up.Updated
*Vodacom Chat for 30 promotion launched.
Vodacom Chat for 30 is a bundle that you buy for R10 that gives you 30min to use for calls to any network anytime and is valid until midnight day of purchase.... Effective call rate of 33c per minute to Any Network. Now that is SA's lowest prepaid call rate!
Chat for 30 bundle can be purchased via *111*60#

Not available to 79c plan peeps like myself :-/
Yup. Vodacom always have some tricks up their sleeves. You can't be on prepaid 79c price plan and make use of the promotional minutes and bundles. Sorry. You will need to change to Anytime per second to take advantage of it.

Vodacom Anytime per second costs R1.20/min. If you buy a daily Chat for 30 bundle, you could keep you spend to R210/month + weekend calling and sms's, if you are more of a business user. Perhaps add an sms bundle to reduce that cost too.

Depends on your usage habits. I found MTN/Axxess data suits me best.
