Vodacom slashes data prices further

Vodacom has reduced its 30-day data bundle by 14 per cent to R85 from R99 in line with recommendations of the Competition Commission’s Data Inquiry.

According to Jorge Mendes, chief officer of Vodacom Consumer Business, he said the group decided to cut down prices on data bundles to ensure that customers were constantly connected on the network.

“Our purpose is to connect for a better future and ensure that no one is left behind in this new digital age. It is one of the most important ways we believe we can create a more equal society for all,” said Mendes.

Vodacom said it had re-introduced the 30-day 2GB bundle at R159 to give customers wider choice and more value, and said tariffs on the 50MB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB and 20GB 30-day bundles remained unchanged.

It was also aimed at giving more value to customers by allocating up to 33 per cent more data on selected 30-day bundles, to ensure everyone gets data to compare to the previous rate as of last year.

He concluded that the data reduction rate would promote digital inclusion and help the 43 million customers who would probably not subscribe to a data bundle to do so whenever the need arises.
