To meet the growing need for affordability and convenience, Vodacom has simplified its RED Core contract portfolio. The new packages reflect Vodacom’s commitment to putting customers first by offering extra value, increased flexibility, and greater ease, ensuring they benefit from every rand they spend.
With the new RED Core range of contracts, customers can select a plan that most suits their needs and budget without dealing with multiple contracts. These simplified plans include additional lifestyle rewards and features beyond standard voice and data services.
“At Vodacom, we are continuously working to understand our customers’ needs better. Therefore, we have carefully listened to their feedback about how complex and overwhelming options for contracts can be, particularly given the current economic pressures on households. In response, we have streamlined our RED Core offering – making it easier to choose, easier to understand, and easier to afford. In doing so, we are ensuring that there is a plan for everyone on Mzansi’s Preferred 5G network,” says Rashid Tar-Mahomed, Managing Executive of Products and Services at Vodacom South Africa.
Customers can now choose from four simplified plans, each including funeral cover of up to R20 000 and two months of complimentary device theft cover in the event their device is lost or stolen. In addition to these benefits, Vodacom RED Core customers can enjoy extraordinary entertainment from leading platforms, such as a 24-month free subscription to Viu, offering access to a wide range of premium local and international content. Customers can also receive a three-month Spotify subscription bundled with 500MB of data per month, and a 12-month free subscription to Prime Video Mobile Edition.
