Cell C<\/a> has more than halved the prices of some of its most popular data packages in a promotion introduced today.<\/p>\n

Set to run until 31 July, the promotion will include price cuts on two postpaid packages and one prepaid package.<\/p>\n

\u201cAffordable data is critical to the development of an economy, and is a powerful education enabler. Today\u2019s world demands a data platform with affordable rates, so we have constructed a set of data tariffs which we hope will meet the needs of South Africans on our HSPA+<\/a> data network using the superior 900MHz band,\u201d said Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For prepaid customers, Cell C is offering its 24GB SIM-only package (2GB x 12 months) for R1,299 once-off, down from R1,999. Those looking to include a USB modem with a maximum theoretical capability of 21.6Mbps on the same package will pay R1,999 once-off, down from R2,999.<\/p>\n

Postpaid customers will have a choice of a 500MB SIM-only package for R49 per month (10c per MB), down from R109 per month.<\/p>\n

The popular 2GB SIM-only postpaid offering will now cost R99 per month (5c per MB), down from R279 per month (or R119 per month with a 7.2Mbps USB modem included.).<\/p>\n

The out-of-bundle rate for these data services is 39c per MB.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe promised better data prices, and this is our first shot at offering the consumer a much better deal,\u201d said Knott-Craig.<\/p>\n
