Mobile data bundle prices compared
Telkom Mobile recently unveiled its latest once-off and recurring data bundle prices, ranging between R15 for 25MB and R999 for a 10GB.
Telkom Mobile has split its once-off data bundles into two categories: “All networks” and “Telkom Mobile network only”.
The All networks option, which is more expensive, includes roaming on the MTN network in areas where Telkom Mobile does not have coverage.
Not to be outdone, Vodacom has recently launched its latest pre-paid data promotion with significant price cuts on nine data bundle sizes.
