The Top Up Packages are a hybrid between contract and prepaid, and are designed to offer subscribers guaranteed monthly airtime credit that provide the similar benefits to contract call rates.

The six packages aim to offer subscribers the convenience of a contract package, combined with the control and flexibility of prepaid and now with per second rates from the first second. Subscribers are able to purchase additional airtime as per the usual prepaid recharge methods once the monthly threshold has been reached, Vodacom adds.

The per second packages are available on 24-month contracts as well as monthly packages, with monthly subscription fees ranging from R135 to R590.
