Vodacom subscribers will no longer be bound to a 24-month commitment to have the benefits of a contract service.
Effective from the beginning of this month, the tariffs applicable to the 10 monthly package options will be the same as the 24-month per second contract packages, but will not include a free cellphone, says spokesperson Nicolene Visser.
She says the month-by-month contracts are not in any way linked to the recent announcement that number portability (allowing people to switch networks without losing their phone number) will come into effect on 18 September.
"We have been working towards launching these new services for some time, and it has been driven by customer demand," she says.
Those already tied into a 24-month contract can opt to switch to month-by-month, but relevant penalties will apply.
"The intent is to provide customers with wider options and choices," she explains.
