Vodacom SA announced the introduction of new smartphone packages called “all-in-one Smart Plans” on Saturday. The package is said to include a smartphone, data, talk time and SMS.
These Smart Plans, specifically designed for smartphone users, will be supported by a wide range of smartphones.
“Customers want a combination of quality network coverage, a broad range of smartphones to choose from and excellent service – and we’re offering them just that. We’ve invested over R7 billion on improving the network capacity over the past 12 months and this remains our key focus,” says Enzo Scarcella, Managing Executive of Marketing, Vodacom.
Scarcella said: “Vodacom was recently voted the most respected broadband provider in South Africa. We also offer the widest range of smartphones. Now the experience is complete as we offer an all-in-one Smart Plan that allows customers to further take advantage of these Vodacom benefits.”
South Africa’s Cell C recently launched their low cost simplified contract packages.
This move by Vodacom SA is seen as a direct battle with Cell C as mobile service providers go head-to-head in a price war.
