Vodacom will offer subscribers a 1GB per month 3G contract, with a free Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card, for R599 per month.
According to the mobile operator, the contract includes a free SIM card provisioned for 3G and a free connection, while the cost per megabyte will be less than 60c.
"Vodafone`s 3G/GPRS Mobile Connect data card provides high-speed access to key applications beyond the bounds of a fixed-line network," says the company.
The contract allows the user to send and receive SMSes, MMSes and e-mail, as well as downloading and working on attachments.
Users can also browse the Internet, use instant messaging and connect to a company network.
Vodacom claims that 1GB of free data allows the user to send up to 200 000 e-mails or browse up to 25 000 Web pages or download around 10 000 Word documents or up to 20 000 PowerPoint presentations.
The mobile operator also says it has a Fusion Data card with wireless LAN (WiFi) connectivity for an additional R1 050 per month.
