Vodacom data price mismatch

Vodacom WTF

Vodacom offers its subscribers a great data network and a wide range of data products. However, one of Vodacom’s products makes no sense at all.

Vodacom’s Internet Daily product offers two data bundles which last for one day: R5 for 5MB and R12 for 20MB.

Giving someone only one day to use their data is often criticized, but what’s worse is that there are better deals available from Vodacom.

Vodacom is offering a 30MB prepaid data bundle, which lasts for a month, for R12. The following table shows why the 20MB Internet Daily product is not good value for money.

Good news is that Vodacom is aware of the problem and is in the process of fixing the “temporary mismatch”. “We’re adjusting the pricing,” Vodacom said.
