Bonus for Vodacom subscribers
The Big Bonus Voucher, a once-off voucher, offers subscribers continuous access to the Vodacom network for 12 months at reduced per second rates, billed from the first second.
According to Vodacom South Africa’s Managing Director, Shameel Joosub, the new package was designed to meet the needs of consumers for cost-effective services and lower rates.
"With a once-off payment, customers get contract-like rates with savings of up to 33%, without the complication of credit vetting and contractual obligation," said Joosub.
Customers will pay R899 for the prepaid Big Bonus Voucher and get guaranteed airtime of R75 automatically credited to their account every 30 days for 12 months. With the voucher, customers will have access to prepaid calls at contract rates.
Vodacom are hoping the Big Bonus Voucher will be taken up as a possible gift opportunity by consumers and stressed the fact that users would not be limited to only R75’s worth of talk-time a month.
Current Vodacom prepaid customers also have the option of recharging with Big Bonus Vouchers and all their calls will then be charged at contract rates.
Big Bonus customers will be viewed as Vodacom Prepaid customers and will therefore be eligible for promotions run by Vodacom from time to time, such as Vodacom’s prepaid loyalty programme "Vodacom Talking Points".
Vodacom also stressed that the Big Bonus Voucher would be available for purchase in both physical and electronic format. Upon redemption of the voucher customers "will receive lower than per second tariffs for the next 12 months, as well as a 12 month airtime window".
At the end of the Big Bonus Voucher period customers will default to the 4U tariff.
