Telkom has announced its new tariff adjustments which will kick in on 1 August 2013, which sees an overall increase of 1.3% on basic voice and data connectivity services.<\/p>\n

Telkom\u2019s new prices include a decrease in the tariffs for outgoing fixed-to-mobile calls of 3.1% to R1.30 (Incl VAT) per minute during peak time and by 2.7% to R1.05 (Incl VAT) per minute during off-peak time.<\/p>\n

Telkom DSL and Telkom Internet monthly subscription charges remain unchanged. However, the overall bill of ADSL clients will increase because of higher line rental prices.<\/p>\n

Post-paid analogue residential line rentals will increase by 5.8% to R157.00 (Incl VAT) per month and business line rentals will increase by 6.2% to R216.00 (Incl VAT) per month.<\/p>\n

Installation charges will increase by 6% and this includes post-paid, PrepaidFone ISDN and DSL services. Line rental for PrepaidFone (weekly\/monthly and Top-up) also increased by 6%.<\/p>\n

The following tables provide an overview of Telkom\u2019s new prices which will become effective on 1 August.<\/p>\n
