Phone now, pay later
Vodacom has launched Airtime Advance, a service which will make it possible for prepaid customers to use mobile voice and data services when they run out of airtime.
“We like to think of Airtime Advance as a solution that could be a life line for our customers when they have no airtime and are in desperate need of it. With Airtime Advance, we are giving our customers the ability to communicate even when they have no airtime,” says Portia Maurice, Chief Officer: Corporate Affairs.
Qualifying prepaid customers will be able to request R10 worth of advance airtime from Vodacom through this service, and Vodacom will deduct the advance amount from the customer’s next recharge.
Vodacom indicated that one of their surveys indicated that for prepaid customers, keeping in touch with family and friends is critical and it is also imperative to stay connected even when they run low or out of airtime.
“These findings prove that this new offer is exactly what our customers need,” says Maurice.
For customers to qualify for Airtime Advance, they must have been active on the Vodacom Network for 12 months or more; they must have recharged with a minimum of R29 (VAT Inclusive) per month (can be cumulative) in the previous six months, and they must have completed the RICA process successfully.
