MTN has introduced a new range of pre-paid data bundles.<\/p>\n

Effective 5 March 2018, MTN said that the new bundles will form part of a number of\u00a0tailored packages based on customer usage and budget needs, and will reduce overlaps in pricing and bundle size.<\/p>\n

All new data bundle prices can be viewed using the MTN App or by dialling *141*2#.\u00a0The tailored bundles can be found on MTN”s website here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

VAT increases<\/b><\/p>\n

As part of the statement, MTN said that\u00a0as a consequence of the increase in VAT from 14% to 15%, announced by National Treasury last month, it will also be adjusting its pricing, effective 1 April 2018.<\/p>\n

The company said it would provide further details to all its customers, before changes are implemented.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MyBroadband<\/a> <\/strong>on Saturday, Vodacom also confirmed that it plans to increase the prices of its services from 1 April, when South Africa\u2019s VAT increase kicks in.<\/p>\n

Vodacom told MyBroadband that all billable services will be subject to the VAT increase from 14% to 15%, announced by National Treasury in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cBillable services include contract subscriptions, bundle services, and out-of-bundle rates for voice, data, and SMS services,\u201d said Vodacom.<\/p>\n

The price increases will be published by 20 March.<\/strong><\/p>\n
