A prepaid monthly recurring data bundle is a bundle subscription (available to Vodacom Prepaid customers) that automatically renews every 30 days, providing you as a customer with a convenient way to receive your bundle allocations without having to repurchase them manually.

Available Bundle Options

You can subscribe to any available recurring data bundle that best suits your needs. Once you have subscribed to a recurring data bundle, you will not be able to subscribe to the same bundle (with the same allocation and validity period) again while it remains active. You may, however, subscribe to a different recurring bundle.

Your recurring bundle will automatically renew every 30 days, and the applicable bundle fee will be deducted from your selected payment method on the renewal date.

Where to buy prepaid monthly recurring data bundles  

Prepaid monthly recurring data bundles can be purchased through Vodacom's USSD menu (*135#) or on VodaPay.

You can pay for your prepaid monthly recurring data bundle using:

• Airtime
• Credit Card

Monthly Bundle Allocations

By subscribing to a Prepaid Monthly Recurring Data Bundle, you authorise Vodacom to automatically deduct the applicable bundle fee every 30 days from your selected payment method on the renewal date (i.e. the same date of each month on which you originally subscribed to the bundle).

In a case where you do not have sufficient airtime balance or available funds on your registered credit card on the renewal date, your recurring bundle will not be renewed on the day.

• For airtime payments: Vodacom will continue attempting to deduct the recurring bundle fee for up to 60 consecutive days. If all payment attempts are unsuccessful during this period, your recurring bundle subscription will be cancelled automatically.
• For credit card payments: If the recurring bundle fee cannot be successfully deducted from your registered credit card on the renewal date, your recurring bundle subscription will be cancelled automatically.

Recurring Bundle Cancellation

If you no longer wish to continue with your prepaid recurring data bundle, you may cancel your subscription via Vodacom's USSD menu (135#) or VodaPay. To avoid your bundle renewing, your cancellation request must be submitted at least 3 days before your next renewal date.

If you submit your cancellation request less than 3 days before your renewal date, the cancellation will only take effect after the next renewal cycle.

Bundle Roll Over

These bundles are valid for 30 days. Any unused data upon expiry will be rolled over free of charge for a further 30 days in the following scenarios:

• If the bundle renews successfully on the 30th day and the next recurring bundle allocation is successfully awarded.
• If the customer migrates to a recurring bundle with a larger allocation and the migration takes effect immediately.
• If the customer repurchases the bundle before expiry.

Bundle Transfer  

Data Transfer is available to all Prepaid, Hybrid and Post-paid subscribers, To understand more about “data transfer”, visit https://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/terms/data-bundle-terms/data-transfer

Bundle Depletion

Once your bundle benefits are depleted or expired, your continued data usage will be restricted unless you are opted into out of bundle usage. To understand more about “Out Of Bundle Limit Lock, visit https://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/terms/data-bundle-terms/out-of-bundle-limit-lock

If a customer purchases another recurring bundle before the current bundle expires, any unused balance will be carried over, provided the new bundle is of the greater allocation. The validity period of the carried-over balance will be extended to align with the validity period of the new bundle.
