Afrihost announced today (14 November 2013) that it is offering double the data on its standard mobile data packages until the end of February 2014.<\/p>\n

“Afrihost are rewarding their clients by doubling their data from 1 December,” Afrihost said in a press statement. “Any client on a standard package will receive double their data allocation for the same price.”<\/p>\n

Afrihost explained that a client who previously had a 1GB package for R99 per month, for example, will now receive 1GB plus 1GB free for the same price.<\/p>\n

This means that Afrihost essentially halved the price of its standard mobile data packages until February 2014.<\/p>\n

Afrihost will also be introducing 5GB, 7GB and 10GB mobile data packages – also with double the data.<\/p>\n

The new packages will go live for new signups from today (14 November 2013), and existing clients will receive the free data from 1 December.<\/p>\n

“All mobile data prices and promotions will be guaranteed until the end of February 2014, when they will be reviewed,” Afrihost said.<\/p>\n
