Pay less per MB with Vodacom Internet bundles


When using Vodacom Internet you are only charged for the volume of data (represented in MB or KB) consumed while browsing, not for the time you spend connected.

By default, internet usage is charged per KB (1 MB=1024KB) at the standard pay-as-you go tariff. In order to enjoy lower tariffs, customers may buy internet volume bundles which make surfing the internet on Vodacom very affordable.

Vodacom offers volume bundles for as little as Tsh 2,000 for 50MB right up to Tsh 1 million for 50GB!
