Vodacom customers can call certain international destinations for 89c per minute, on per-second billing.

Vodacom has launched a new product called International Calling Plus which allows customers to call 118 countries from 89c per minute on per second billing.

Available from this Sunday, the product follows the operator's 89c to 52 countries promotion, which it introduced late last year.

Head of Vodacom's consumer business unit, Phil Patel, says the product proved to be popular, and so the company has added three new zones with additional countries priced at R1,19, R1,79 and R2,89 respectively . The product is permanent and available to all Vodacom customers - prepaid, TopUp or contract.

International Calling Plus costs R5 per month and can be set up by dialing *111#, and selecting "International Calling Plus" from the "Buy bundles and services" menu.

Vodacom says calls are billed per second, from the first second and the discounted rates apply to both landlines and mobile phones in any of the 118 countries, at any time of the day.

"All customers who signed up for the previous international calling promotion have been informed of the new International Calling Plus offer."

Some of the popular destinations customers can call at the rate of 89c per minute include Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Nigeria, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States of America.

In addition, customers can now also call neighbouring countries such as Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and Swaziland for only R1,79 per minute.
