New Cell C data prices released
Cell C announced that it is “in the process of rationalising its suite of products”, which includes price changes on its voice and data products.
The operator announced that the changes will take effect on 1 January 2015 for prepaid products, and on 1 February 2015 for contracts, data, and other services.
“The review is part of our commitment to improve transparency and simplicity, while maximising the value our customers receive on our products,” Cell C said.
The company added that the pricing changes are applicable to all existing Cell C customers who are active on any of these plans prior to 1 January 2015.
New Cell C data prices
Cell C is moving away from its flat rate of 15c per MB for data bundles, with most data bundle prices increasing next year.
Cell C also introduced a new 25MB data bundle for R6, which translates into 24c per MB.
Out of bundle rates for all data bundles remain at 99c per MB. Cell C’s GigaNite prices remain unchanged.
The following tables provide an overview of the new Cell C data prices which will kick in on 1 February 2015.
