Vodacom gift fine print
Vodacom unveiled its 2013 Summer campaign – called “Give a Gift, Give a Happy” – today (26 October 2013), providing customers with “an affordable way of sharing gifts via mobile”.
“For a cost of an SMS, customers can send gifts of airtime, data, SMS bundles or discount vouchers to their friends and loved ones,” Vodacom explained.
A Vodacom subscriber can send a gift by sending a text to 1234 with the cellphone number of the person they want to send a gift to. The cost of a Vodacom “Give a Gift, Give a Happy” SMS is 50c.
“Vodacom will then send the nominated number one of the following gifts: 60 minutes talk time, or from 100MB data , or 500 SMS’s, or other exciting gifts,” Vodacom explained.
The recipient will receive a text from Vodacom containing a redemption code, and to redeem the gift they need to send the code to 1234 at a cost of 50 cents.
All networks welcome, as long as it is Vodacom
Vodacom said in its press statement that gifts can also be sent to customers who are on networks other than Vodacom.
However, to redeem these gifts, subscribers from other networks would need to switch to Vodacom.
Vodacom’s Terms and Conditions state that the “Give a Gift, Give a Happy Promotion” is available to all customers, across all networks, regardless of payment type.
However, the following rules apply:
- Only Vodacom customers are able to nominate and donate gifts
- Off net customers are not able to nominate recipients for gifts but will be able to redeem gifts subject to the following conditions:
- — Off net customers will be able to redeem gift vouchers irrespective of the network they are on
- — Off net customers will only be able to redeem Vodacom network gifts once they port their numbers to Vodacom and subject to the porting requirements of their then current network operator.
“Free” gifts for new Vodacom customers
Good news for new Vodacom customers is that “all subscribers who activate a new Vodacom SIM card or port in to Vodacom will receive a gift every day, subject to some terms and conditions.
“As a new prepaid subscriber you will receive your initial free gift 48 hours after your first single recharge of R12 or more and one gift daily thereafter for the duration of the campaign,” Vodacom said.
New top up and post paid subscribers will receive their initial gift allocation 48 hours after activation and thereafter one daily gift for the duration of the campaign.
The Vodacom Give a Gift, Give iHappy campaign runs from 26 October 2013 till 7 January 2014.
