Vodacom Internet Bolt-On Bundle ~ Now on Post-paid too!

launched: October 23, 2009

Vodacom Internet Bolt-on bundle � NOW available on Post-paid too!
To date, Vodacom Post-paid customers could either pay per MB for Internet usage OR they could sign up for a 24-month Post-paid Internet Contract. Effective today, Vodacom Post-paid customers will also be able to buy internet bolt-on bundles via SMS. Eg: MYMEG100 to 123

The customer will receive a processing SMS followed by a confirmation SMS indicating that the allocated volume MB has been added to his number. The charge for the bolt-on bundle purchase will be posted onto the customer�s monthly bill. The Bolt-on bundle option gives Post-paid customers more flexibility in enjoying lower internet surfing tariffs, especially on their handsets.
This volume must be used within 90 days, after which any unused MB will expire. Should the customer consume all volume MB purchased, further internet access will be billed to his account at standard pay-as-you-go rate. He may buy another Internet bolt-on bundle to continue surfing at a lower tariff.
