Telkom Mobile<\/a>\u00a0recently unveiled its latest once-off and recurring data bundle prices, ranging between R15 for 25MB and R999 for a 10GB.<\/p>\n

Telkom Mobile has split its once-off data bundles into two categories: “All networks” and “Telkom Mobile network only”.<\/p>\n

The All networks option, which is more expensive, includes roaming on the MTN<\/a> network in areas where Telkom Mobile does not have coverage.<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, Vodacom has recently launched its latest pre-paid data promotion with significant price cuts on nine data bundle sizes.<\/p>\n

Mobile data pricing comparison<\/h3>\n

These new prices raise the question of how Vodacom and Telkom Mobile’s rates stack up against similar products from MTN and Cell C<\/a>. The following table answers this question.<\/p>\n
