VOCACOM SLASHES CALL RATES

CELLPHONE network Vodacom on Sunday announced it is slashing the tariffs of its pre-paid package, Vodago, by almost half for calls made between 8pm and 7am — with immediate effect. “Some 1,1-million active Vodago users stand to benefit from the longest pre-paid off-peak hours in South Africa,” said Vodacom’s managing director Andrew Mthembu. The Vodago pre-paid subscribers will now be able to talk for R1,50 a minute during off-peak hours compared to R2,75 a minute in peak hours.
