Johannesburg, 26 Apr 2006
Vodacom today announced that effective 1 June 2006 it is offering a further reduction in the cost of its 3G data service. Subject to the approval of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), Vodacom will lower all its standard in-bundle 3G data tariffs by 20%.
"This reduction in tariffs means that Vodacom customers could pay as little as 39c per meg - making our superfast mobile Internet even more affordable and accessible to everyone," says Pieter Uys, Vodacom`s Chief Operations Officer.
"The proposed reduction in tariffs excludes 3G HSDPA tariffs and includes all standard in-bundle 3G contract and bolt-on tariffs," Uys says.
This follows an announcement by Vodacom that effective 21 April 2006, any customer who owns a locally purchased Vodacom 3G Data Connect Card can visit any Vodacom approved outlet for a free swop-out for a 3G HSDPA Data Connect Card - dependant on availability of stock and proof of original purchase within South Africa.
Vodacom`s HSDPA network offers users downlink speeds of up to 1.8 Megabits per second which is faster than ADSL and up to five times faster than 3G.
