Vodacom price changes announced

Vodacom will adjust its voice and data out-of-bundle (OOB) rates for prepaid, contract, and topup customers from June 2025.

The mobile network recently started notifying customers of the changes via SMS.

“To continue delivering the quality coverage and service you expect, we’ll be implementing our annual update on selected products and services, which will take effect on 1 June 2025,” the message stated.

For customers on contract and TopUp plans, the OOB rate for voice calls and SMSs will increase by two cents per minute and two cents per megabyte, respectively.

The changes will also impact customers on the following prepaid price plans:

• Vodacom Dash Mobile
• Vodacom Khosi Bonus
• Vodacom NXT LVL
• Vodacom Power Pack
• Vodacom Power Bonus
• Vodacom Prepaid LTE
• Vodacom Prepaid 79c
• Vodacom Zetnet

Expressed as a percentage, the price hikes on OOB data on all prepaid plans except Power Pack and Prepaid LTE will be 4.1%.

Power Pack and Prepaid LTE customers will pay 6.9% more for OOB data.

Vodacom initially made an error that said Prepaid LTE’s OOB rate would reduce from 49 cents to 31 cents.

A spokesperson has subsequently confirmed that the correct original rate was 29 cents.

In terms of OOB voice rates, most plans will get an effective increase of 1.2% — apart from the Prepaid LTE and Prepaid 79c products.

Prepaid LTE’s OOB voice rate will be increasing by 1%, while Prepaid 79c will be bumped by 2.5%. The latter is Vodacom’s most affordable prepaid product for OOB calls.

These increases follow Vodacom’s annual pricing adjustments for contract customers that took effect in March 2025.

In that instance, Vodacom implemented an average increase of 4.5% across its Red, mobile broadband, fixed-wireless access, and Flexi postpaid plans.

MTN and Telkom have also implemented price adjustments in the past few months.

The tables below summarise the increases in OOB rates for Vodacom customers, effective 1 June 2025.
