Vodacom hikes contract prices — All the details
Vodacom will increase subscription prices across numerous Red tariff plans from 1 April 2023.
The announcement comes after MTN and Telkom also revealed price hikes on several of their products in the past few days.
Vodacom explained it had faced a range of challenges that impacted it financially.
These factors included increased battery theft, base station vandalism, and a challenging economic climate with inflation, exchange rate pressures, and intensified load-shedding.
The average increase across all contract and month-to-month tariff plans will be 6.7%.
However, because there were no price changes to handset instalments or any value-added service, the average increase in bill totals would be 4.2%.
In addition, the operator has also added 20% more anytime data to the plans that are getting a price hike.
That means a plan that previously came with 500MB of data will now get an additional 100MB, a 1GB plan will get an extra 200MB, a 2GB plan will get 400MB more, and so on.
Vodacom said that any customer who took up one of these plans between January and March 2023 would receive a 3-month grace period, where Vodacom would apply a discount at its “own discretion”.
As a result, the operator said their price increases would only come into effect from 1 June 2023.
The tables below summarise the price changes on all of Vodacom’s Red tariff plans for 2023.
