Vodacom price hike explained
Vodacom has doubled the price of its Power Hour promotion, which was re-launched today, and the company explained that the slightly longer operational hours meant that R10 (instead of R5) is an optimal price point.
The 2012 Power Hour promotion offers 60 minutes of pre-paid talk time between 6am and 6pm on weekdays for R5.
“Based on customer feedback we’ve extended the promotion by two hours at an optimal price point,” said Vodacom spokesperson Nomsa Thusi.
“The service now ends at 8pm instead of 6pm which allows customers to have more flexibility of choice when using the service.”
Initial comments from consumers about this change from Vodacom was not positive. “For double your money in six months, you get an extra 2 hours….Epic fail,” said one consumer.
“Clearly there are many retarded people in this country if Vodacom can greenlight something this retarded,” said another commentator.
The promotion will run from 10th January 2013 and to 28 February 2013.
