Have a great phone but want to supe it up with contract-level benefits like monthly recurring minutes, texts, and data? You're most likely looking for a SIM only plan.

As the name suggests, this plan is for just a SIM card. But this SIM comes loaded with various network benefits like data, voice minutes or SMS bundles. Some of them even come with a mix of all of these, giving customers an all-round package that ticks all of the boxes.

What is SIM Only?

A SIM-only plan is a monthly contract where you don't get a device, but a SIM card loaded with monthly minutes, texts, and data or all of the above. This is great if you already have a phone, but don't want to work with a prepaid plan. SIM-only contracts are more affordable than standard contracts because you are paying for the SIM alone.

Using SIM-only Data During The Holidays

During the holiday season we spend a lot of time on the road, whether it's for shopping or going on vacation. But just because you're away from your home internet, doesn't mean you can't have it with you. A SIM-only plan means that you can take your home internet with you by removing the SIM card and putting it into either another phone to tether with, or getting a Mi-Fi router which is portable and can be used as an on the go router. Plus, the SIM card can work in any device so if you’re on holiday somewhere where there is a router, you can use it in there and share WIFI for everyone.

Using SIM-only for WFH

A SIM-only plan can also be great for working from home. You can use it as a separate, main form of connectivity of you want to keep work expenses separate from your personal ones. Alternatively it can also be a backup for when your main source is glitching or not working.

Vodacom has versatile SIM-only plans that can meet every data need. Whether you are a light user that only browses news and scrolling socials or a heavy user who streams and games, there is a plan that suits your needs and your pocket. 

Using SIM-Only Data for Your Whole Family
