Data rollover changes: Here's what you need to know busrep

On social media Vodacom users were outraged to find that the network operator would be charging customers for the “data bundle roll-over service”. According to its company website, users will pay as much as R49 to roll over a data bundle of more than 1GB, with a validity period of more than one day.MTN has stated that it has already been complaint with the law as it has been offering data rollover for years.

After two months passed, users will have the option to extend unused data at a cost which is yet to be released. However, the company noted that the only 500MB is the maximum amount which can be rolled over after two months. For prepaid customers, recurring data bundles will roll over to the next month at no additional cost. For larger bundles, a nominal fee is payable for the additional time.

All free data, reward data, promo data and service-specific bundles such as WhatsApp is, however, excluded from being rolled over.Telkom has stated that since the 1st of December 2018, an option to opt into or out of out-of-bundle usage was implemented, data extension periods introduced and transfer of data on the network was made available to costumers.
