At launch Vodacom will only offer devices from the Samsung portfolio, with an entry price point of R129 up-front and R99 per month over eleven months. A greater selection of brands will be introduced over time.

“The Easy2Own initiative has been designed with affordability and our customers’ lifestyles in mind. To ensure no one is left behind as we move towards a digital society, Vodacom will continue launching initiatives such as Easy2Own, which drive mobile access in South Africa,” says Davide Tacchino, Vodacom Terminals Managing Executive.

Customers who settle their monthly instalment on time will receive a 1GB data bundle, valid for seven days each month, simply for honoring their agreement.

Vodacom adds that to provide further flexibility, customers can settle their monthly payments via a direct debit order or EFT.
