Telkom has announced four new aggressively priced, SIM-only mobile packages called SmartPhone plans that are available from today. This follows its recently announced voice bundles and cuts to its prepaid mobile data rates.
“These new plans give Telkom customers more choice as well as three times the value,” says Attila Vitai, Telkom’s MD for consumer and mobile services.
The SmartPhone Basic package costs R50 and gives customers 150MB of data, 150 SMSs, and 150 voice minutes (50 minutes for Telkom mobile calls, 50 minutes for Telkom fixed-line calls and 50 minutes for calls to any network).
Each of the new plans can also be topped up by buying bundles of voice, SMS or data.
Though the plans are being punted as SIM-only packages they can be bundled with a handset should a consumer wish.
Vital suggests that Telkom’s not done taking the fight to its rivals just yet. “We’re continually expanding our mobile voice services in order to deliver the best value to our customers, so keep watching this space,” he says.
