SA's largest cellular company, Vodacom, is giving its contract customers free weekend or weekday evening minutes from next month.
Vodacom contract customers will receive up to three hours of free calls to use over weekends and weekday nights to call other Vodacom customers.
Most customers on contract packages will now get a “more minutes” bundle to use during weekends or weekday nights between 8pm and 7am. The allocated free minutes are based on the contract package the customer subscribes to and can be used to call other Vodacom customers.
Vodacom SA MD Shameel Joosub says: “We are giving our customers more value without increasing their monthly subscription charges.”
He explains that a customer who subscribes to a Talk 240 contract package can choose to receive 60 free minutes to use over weekends or 30 free minutes to use during weekday evenings, to call other Vodacom customers - at no additional cost.
The allocation of the monthly bundle will default to weekend minutes; however, customers have the option to change their weekend minutes to weekday evening minutes, by calling 111, free from their Vodacom cellphone.
Vodacom has also reduced selected peak call rates and simplified out-of-bundle call rates on contract packages, to include two rates that apply all day - one rate for calling Vodacom customers and another for calling customers on other networks.
