Vodacom and MTN customers can get heavily discounted mobile data or voice bundles based on the location they find themselves in.
“J4Y Town was developed as a mechanism to help address the cost to communicate by improving the affordability of voice and data products in low-income areas, enabling underserved communities to access digital services,” Vodacom said. In the Vodapay app, customers will find their personalised bundles under a “Your Town” tab in the “Buy” section.The prices mobile operators charge for their services are often a function of the relationship between available capacity and user demand.
This started with the MTN Zone product, which was first launched to contract customers in 2008 and allowed them to consume airtime at significantly discounted rates. “The aim with this product is not only to get — and keep — more people connected to family, friends, passions, entertainment, networking and job opportunities, it is also a way to address customer needs on a personal and community-level; ensuring that no one is left behind as we move towards an increasingly modern, connected life and burgeoning digital economy,” MTN stated.
