Vodacom has begun notifying contract customers to prepare for price increases on 1 February 2026, stating that these are necessary to continue investing in its network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following contract plans will be impacted by the price increase: RED Integrated, RED Flexi, RED VIP, Home Internet (FWA), Mobile Broadband (SIM-only data), and legacy plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The adjustment reflects ongoing inflationary pressures and rising network and operating costs, alongside continued investment to maintain and improve network quality and reliability,” a Vodacom spokesperson told MyBroadband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the current financial year, Vodacom South Africa plans to invest approximately R12 billion to expand 4G and 5G coverage, strengthen network resilience, and improve customer experience.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodacom stated that its network investments include rollouts in underserved and rural communities, ensuring that no one is left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodacom also said that its network investments enabled it to deploy stronger power backup systems, meaning more subscribers can remain connected during electricity outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also invested in its data network, allowing subscribers to stream and browse seamlessly with faster 4G and 5G speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodacom also promised subscribers that it was spending money on customer service channels so users can get easy, effortless help with extra digital support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodacom\u2019s notice to customers comes a day after MTN informed many of its contract subscribers<\/a> about increases to its consumer contract pricing, also effective 1 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers who signed up for a new contract from 1 November 2025 will be given a grace period before their price increases take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve joined us during our annual price increase period, however we do understand your cost pressures,\u201d Vodacom stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why all new and upgrading customers will be given a two-month grace period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Friday deals and promotions are granted the same grace period. Price increases for all subscribers who took out a new contract between 1 November and 31 December will kick in on 1 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodacom also explained that the price increases affect all postpaid customers, including those whose contracts had matured and were on month-to-month plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose out of contract may experience higher costs because of promotional add-ons and discounts falling away at the end of the contract term,\u201d it cautioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodacom\u2019s contract price increases, which take effect on 1 February 2026, are summarised in the tables below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
