Vodacom slashes mobile data prices

 ·27 Mar 2013

Vodacom has launched a new prepaid data promotion, slashing its regular prices by between 33% and 84%. Vodacom is also set to introduce two new contract data packages at reduced prices.

Vodacom’s prepaid data promotion is an extension of its existing data prices available to contract and top-up customers, but with the addition of 30MB, 5GB and 20GB data bundles.

Many high-end mobile data users will welcome the return of Vodacom’s 20GB for R499 data package, which was first launched in late 2011.

The new prepaid data promotion is available from today, and will run until the end of April 2013.

The mobile operator’s latest data promotion is set to make many Vodacom prepaid subscribers happy, but there are also savings in store for those willing to sign a 24 month contract.

Vodacom is set to reduce the price of its 5GB data contracts from R389 to R259, while the price of its 10GB data package will be reduced from R689 to R499.

These new data contract prices will complement Vodacom’s current promotion offering 500MB per month at R39, 1GB at R69, 2GB at R99, and 3GB at R169.

Vodacom’s new contract data promotion will run from the 7th of April to the 6th of June 2013.
