Vodacom offers its subscribers a great data network and a wide range of data products. However, one of Vodacom\u2019s products makes no sense at all.<\/p>\n

Vodacom\u2019s Internet Daily product offers two data bundles which last for one day: R5 for 5MB and R12 for 20MB.<\/p>\n

Giving someone only one day to use their data is often criticized, but what’s worse is that there are better deals available from Vodacom.<\/p>\n

Vodacom is offering a 30MB prepaid data bundle, which lasts for a month, for R12. The following table shows why the 20MB Internet Daily product is not good value for money.<\/p>\n

Good news is that Vodacom is aware of the problem and is in the process of fixing the \u201ctemporary mismatch\u201d. \u201cWe’re adjusting the pricing,\u201d Vodacom said.<\/p>\n
