Vodacom cuts prepaid prices
Vodacom today announced that Vodacom Prepaid customers can now make calls at 2.8 cents per second (equates to R1.70 per minute). This pricing is available to Vodacom’s Prepaid All Day from today.
“By lowering the All Day Prepaid call rates our customers can pay less and talk more at any time of the day when calling Vodacom family and friends – they don’t have to wait for off-peak times to make that important call,” says Shameel Joosub, Managing Director, Vodacom South Africa.
With the Prepaid All Day tariff, per second billing applies and customers can make calls at the same rate all day – no more Peak and Off-Peak rates.
This announcement from Vodacom follows a similar announcement by MTN last week that it has cut call rates on its MTN One Rate PayAsYouGo price plan. MTN said that this price reduction enables MTN subscribers to make calls all day across all networks for less than 3c per second.
“This new price reduction makes this the lowest per second call rate during peak times in South Africa,” MTN said at the time. “With a significant reduction in call rates, MTN customers can now benefit from savings of up to 40% on calls made throughout the day.”
MTN also announced that it has reduced the rate of its SMS service to 50c per SMS to any number at any time.
