Vodacom<\/a> is currently investigating more convenient ways for their customers to purchase data, and will announce details about this initiative in the near future. This is according to Mostafa Elbeltagy<\/a>, Vodacom\u2019s managing executive for pre-pay.<\/p>\n

Numerous Vodacom customers have been asking for pre-paid data vouchers, removing the need to convert airtime into data for more affordable data rates.<\/p>\n

It is understood that many Vodacom customers are still paying high out-of-bundle data rates (R2.00 per MB), despite the fact that they can save lots of money by purchasing a data bundle.<\/p>\n

A simpler data bundle purchasing method may therefore help to move consumers away from expensive R2.00 per MB data charges.<\/p>\n
