Vodacom lowers tariffs

“While we have not had a tariff increase for over six years; we have heard our customers and are lowering prepaid peak rates by up to 35%. We believe it's imperative in the current economic downturn to give our customers more choice and affordable rates,” says Shameel Joosub, MD Vodacom South Africa.

In addition to the two new packages available, prepaid customers can also choose from Vodacom's 4U Prepaid and Yebo4Less tariff options to suit their individual needs. Prepaid customers are able to 'freechange' between all prepaid tariff options, every 30 days, by dialling 1181, free from their Vodacom cellphone.

All Day calls are billed per second with an on-net (Vodacom to Vodacom) call rate of R1.85 (incl VAT) per minute (3.1 cents per second) and an off-net (Vodacom to other mobile networks) rate of R1.99 (incl VAT) per minute (3.3 cents per second) all day.

Prepaid customers will also save with the new Per Second Plus package, with up to 16% discount on calls during peak time and a newly extended off-peak time from 7pm to 7am.

“The All Day package is very suitable for Prepaid customers who primarily make calls during business hours, from 7am to 8pm, whilst the Per Second Plus package will benefit customers with the off-peak period moving one hour earlier to 7pm, giving these customers the opportunity make cheaper calls from early evening,” concludes Joosub.
