Home Internet Price updates

As we step into 2025 – and all the exciting opportunities ahead – we want to thank you for choosing to connect on South Africa’s preferred network. We’re proud to be your partner.

To continue delivering the quality coverage and service you expect, we’ll be implementing our annual price update from 1 March 2025. This adjustment is driven by inflation and rising operational costs, like electricity, maintenance and service delivery.

We’ve managed to keep an average monthly bill increase of just 4.5%.

We’ve also absorbed additional costs to keep device fees, SMS and MMS rates and out-of-bundle data rates unchanged.

Here’s to unlocking more moments, milestones and memories together in 2025.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a price increase?

Price adjustments happen annually, driven by inflation and rising operational costs, like electricity, maintenance and service delivery. We’ve managed to keep this low, with an average monthly bill increase of and average of 4.5%.

When will it come into effect?

It will be effective from 1 March 2025.

Which plans does it apply to?

The following postpaid contract plans: RED Integrated, MBB (data), FWA (Home Internet), RED VIP and Flexi. 

How do I know what price plan I am on?

Open the VodaPay app and then follow this pathway: View all > My account > Account details > Manage my number
 

What will my specific price increase be?

Have a look at your plan details here. 

Will this change my device financing?

No. We’ve absorbed additional costs to keep device fees, insurance fees, SMS and MMS rates and out-of-bundle data rates unchanged.

Are you allowed to change the price?

Vodacom reserves the right to update their terms and conditions as long as customers are made aware of any changes at least 20 working days beforehand. This also doesn’t breach CPA as the increase is in line with inflation.

What if I only just signed my contract?

You’ve joined us during our annual price increase period but we do understand your cost pressures. That’s why all new and upgrading customers will be given a grace period. Those who joined in January get a one-month grace period and those who joined between February and 7 March get a two-month grace period: 

Join date
(sign ups or upgrades)
Price increase date
(after grace period)
January 20251 April 2025
February – 7 March 20251 May 2025

 

Does the price increase apply on both lines of a two-line deal?

This depends on what deals and plans they are. If the second line is Free 100% discount, then it remains as is, but, if it’s not discounted then the price increase will apply. If the line is on a double deal or line plan, e.g., RED 4GB | 600 minutes and RED Flexi, the relevant price increase will apply.
 

Does the price increase apply to family deals with three lines?

Yes, if the lines are chargeable then it will apply.

Does the price increase apply to 2024 Black Friday promotions?

Yes, if the plan you signed up for is part of the impacted plans then it will apply.

Does the price increase apply if I’m no longer under contract and on a month-to-month basis?

Yes, it applies to all postpaid contract customers (in-contract and out-of-contract). Those out of contract may experience higher costs as a result of promotional add-ons and/or discounts falling away at the end of the contract term.

Take the RED 700MB | 50 minute price plan as an example:
 

 In-contractOut-of-contract
Current subscriptionR233R233
Current discountR50R0
Current net subscriptionR183R233
Net subscription after 8% increaseR198.70R252.99
DifferenceR15.70R19.99
I didn’t get any notification of this update?

We sent all of our existing customers both an SMS and email between 24-27 February 2025. Any new customers (those joining January to March 2025) will get their notifications between February and March 2025.

How and when do I get paid?

At the end of each business day, VodaPay will perform a settlement process which considers all successful payments processed on your behalf as well as any refunds that you have performed.

On the next business day, VodaPay will calculate the amount due to you by offsetting any debits such as refunds or transaction fees, against payments received. The remaining balance is then paid into your designated clearing bank account.

A detailed view of this can be found on the Account Transactions screen of the merchant portal. Invoices for fees charged by VodaPay are available on the Documents screen on the merchant portal.
