In a statement, the mobile operator says from 13 September, customers roaming in any of the 58 countries will pay a standard R10 per minute for making and receiving calls, R10 per MB for data and R2.99 per SMS on certain networks in these countries.

The operators that have been excluded from this deal are Emtel Mauritius, where customers will pay R20 per minute for calls and R20 per MB for data, and Netone Zimbabwe, where customers will pay R15 per minute for calls and R15 per MB for data.
