Johannesburg - Telecommunications group Vodacom South Africa has said it will reduce its mobile data rates by up to 60% from May 1.
The announcement comes within weeks of rival MTN slashing its mobile data rates.
In a press release issued on Friday, Vodacom said: "Vodacom is pleased to announce that from May 1, customers will receive between 17% and 60% more data free, on all data bundles smaller than 3GB. Most customers will receive 20% more free data, and in certain instances will be paying as little as 17c per MB.
"The offer applies, regardless of whether the customer subscribes to a data contract or buys a once-off bundle to use on an ad-hoc basis and is available on both the broadband advanced and the broadband standard services. Customers, who subscribe to the broadband advanced service already benefit from the in-bundle rate being the same as the out-of-bundle rate, and will now benefit even more from the reduced rate per MB."
For example, customers who subscribe to a Broadband Advanced MyGig One bundle would previously have paid 38c per MB whereas from May they will only pay 25c per MB.
