Telkom Mobile today (19 April 2013) unveiled a new range of data offerings, which the company said is “aimed at slashing prices to offer the best in-bundle rates in the market”.

The new SmartInternet and SmartInternet Saver post-paid data plans will be available from 21 April 2013.

Consumers can opt for a bundled offer that includes a device, or for a SIM only option which can be used with their own device.

The plans come with an allocation of Telkom Mobile data, Telkom Mobile Night-Surfer data, LTE speeds in LTE coverage areas and access to free Wi-Fi at Telkom Mobile hot spots around the country.
