How to Manage Your Data Usage Through the VodaPay App

Did you know that, as a Vodacom customer, you can manage your data usage easily and securely through the VodaPay app? Get started with this guide.

If you haven’t downloaded the VodaPay app yet, here’s a good reason to do so right now. It is the most secure, convenient way for Vodacom customers to manage data usage.  

Why use the VodaPay app to manage my data? 

While there are various apps out there that you can use to manage data usage, the VodaPay app has some serious advantages: 

Free to use: The VodaPay app is free to download and use on Android, Apple and Huawei devices. Simply get the app, register as a user, and you can start managing your data right away. 

Secure: These days, you can’t be too careful with your personal information, so you’d be forgiven for being sus about handing over your details to a new app. The VodaPay app is secure, POPIA compliant, and linked to your Vodacom account, so you have the peace of mind that it’s legit.  

Data free functionality: Through the VodaPay app, any Vodacom customer can buy data (and airtime), check balances, and even pay bills without ringing up any data charges. Super convenient for those awkward moments when you run out of data at the worst possible moment. 

How to Use the VodaPay App to Manage Data Usage 

The best thing about managing data usage through the VodaPay app is that it’s easy even if you’re not a techy person. Here is what to do:

- Login to the app. 

- You’ll immediately see your current data balance on your personal dashboard. But there’s more. 

- Tap “My account” and then “Detailed Data Usage”. Here, you can see how much mobile data you used yesterday, in the last week, in the last month, or in a period of your choosing. You can also see which apps are using the most data. 

How to Top Up On Data in the VodaPay App 

Once you’ve tracked your data usage, you may need a top-up – you have options.

Who do you want to buy for? 

Go to “Buy” on your dashboard. At the top, you’ll see “I’m buying for”. You can select yourself or add another Vodacom phone number.  

What do you want to buy? 

You can choose a general data bundle (be sure to look out for great deals available through the VodaPay app!) or you can choose an app-specific bundle based on your data usage. Under “Buy”, select “Social Bundles” to get data specifically for WhatsApp, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook or streaming.  

How much do you want to spend? 

Whether you just need a little top-up to get you to the end of the month or you want a big data bundle to hot-spot yourself while you work remotely for a week, you’ll find it in the VodaPay app. Stuck without data and just need to send a text quickly? You can spend as little as R1 for a 10MB WhatsApp-specific data bundle.  

The VodaPay app is the smartest choice for Vodacom customers to manage data usage. Never be stranded without data again! Click here to download the VodaPay app.
