Vodacom to reduce data prices
From the 1st of November Vodacom data bundle customers will be charged less for out-of-bundle data.
250 MB and 500 MB bundle customers will be charged R 1-50 per MB for additional data, a reduction of 25% from the previous R 2-00 per MB. 1 GB customers will be charged R 1-20 per MB, a 40% reduction from the previous rate.
Users with data bundles lower than 250 MB will still be charged R 2-00 per MB.
This reduction brings Vodacom in line with MTN’s out-of-bundle rates. MTN’s 1 GB customers are currently paying R 1-25 per MB when exceeding their limit while their 500 MB bundle subscribers are charged R 1-50 per MB out of bundle.
VirginMobile remains the cheapest mobile data provider when it comes to basic per-MB data. They charge a flat rate of R 0-50 per MB for all data.
It should however be noted that VirginMobile, which uses the CellC network, only has EDGE and GPRS services which are far slower than Vodacom and MTN’s 3G and HSDPA offerings.
