Mobile data deals compared

Mobile operators

Vodacom has recently launched three new data deals – 1GB for R89, 2GB for R139 and 3GB for R189. These data bundles exclude a modem.

The new data deals are available on a 24-month contract, and includes ‘Night Owl’ data which gives another 1GB, 2GB or 3GB of data (depending on the package), to use between midnight and 5 am.

These new data bundles complement the company’s modem inclusive data packages at R99 for 1GB, R149 for 2GB and R199 for 3GB.

This raises the question of how Vodacom’s new modem-less data packages compare with similar contract promotions from 8ta, Cell C and MTN.

The following table provides an overview of some of the prominent data promotions from the four mobile operators.
