Vodacom will slash its peak call time rates by up to 50% for weekdays between 5pm and 8pm, the mobile operator announced on Friday.
Dubbed Vodacom’s ”Happy Hours”, the new tariff will see a standard on-network call rate of R1,49 per minute (including VAT) for pre-paid and contract customers.
The new tariff will be effective immediately for all pre-paid customers with no special subscription, starter pack or cell number required, and from October 1 for all contract subscribers, subject to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) approval.
”This is a continuation of a trend to lower cellphone tariffs in a competitive environment,” Vodacom Group chief executive Alan Knott-Craig said in a statement.
The new tariff applies to Vodacom-to-Vodacom calls, per second and per minute pre-paid packages as well as top-up and contract packages. It excludes Talk 500, Corporate 500, Talk 1000 and Messenger.
