Prepaid Vodacom subscribers now have access to discounts of up to 99%. These are available through Yebo4Less, a new service launched today.
On-net calls will be discounted by up to 99%, while off-net calls will get discounts of up to 65%.
The offering is similar to MTN Zone, launched in February. This offers discounts ranging between 5% and 95%, depending on location and time of day. However, MTN's offering is restricted to on-net calls.
Says Vodacom chief communications officer Dot Field: "Discounts on Yebo4Less applies to all voice and video calls made to other Vodacom customers, as well as to customers on other networks in SA, regardless of the time of day, so Vodacom prepaid customers can phone whenever they feel like it without the need to wait for off-peak times."
Yebo4Less discount rates will be displayed on the customer's cellphone, during the course of the day, based on the customer's location and calling patterns on the Vodacom network, says Vodacom. The discounted rates are not available for data or roaming calls.
Prepaid customers will have to move to the new plan in order to benefit from the lower tariffs.
