Vodacom has hiked the price of Multi Data-SIMs from R9\/month to R29\/month for voice contract customers and R99\/month for data contract customers, MyBroadband has learned.<\/p>\n
Subscribers that already have Multi Data-SIMs will continue to pay the R9 per SIM per month, but any new activations will attract the new fees as of 31 January 2014.<\/p>\n
Those on Vodacom\u2019s \u201cRed\u201d plans (which start at R999\/month), will also still get two free Multi Data-SIM (MDS) activations on their accounts<\/p>\n
News of Vodacom\u2019s Multi Data-SIM offering emerged during March 2011, allowing Vodacom contract customers to add up to four additional subscriber identity modules (SIMs) to their accounts.<\/p>\n
While each SIM has its own number, they are all able to make use of a single account\u2019s data bundle. BlackBerry Internet Service can also only be active on one of the SIMs at a time.<\/p>\n
At the time, Vodacom said that the R9 per SIM per month fee was promotional.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that at R99\/month, Vodacom has priced its MDS service for data contract subscribers at the same level as its 2GB data contract promotion.<\/p>\n
Vodacom was asked about the price increases of its MDS service, but was not immediately able to comment.<\/p>\n
