Did you know your Vodacom airtime and data spend can unlock a free R10 000 funeral cover benefit?
How can buying airtime or bundles help you get funeral cover? Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works, who qualifies and how it can help your loved ones with unexpected funeral costs.
What is Vodacom’s Spend and Get Funeral Cover?
Spend and Get is exactly what it sounds like. When you spend R120 or more each month on Vodacom airtime or data bundles, you automatically qualify for complimentary funeral cover of R10 000.
That means staying connected by recharging can unlock added funds for funeral costs without paying a separate funeral cover premium. The complimentary cover applies to one person and is designed to help ease the financial burden that comes with funeral expenses.
How do you sign up for VodaSure Funeral Cover?
Signing up is quick and convenient. Customers can register through multiple channels depending on what works best for them.
- Via USSD: Dial *123#, then navigate to ‘Register for Free Funeral Cover’. Follow the prompts to complete your registration.
- Via the VodaPay App: Open the VodaPay App, navigate to ‘Discover on VodaPay,’ select ‘FREE Funeral Cover,’ and follow the steps on how to ‘Get started.’
What do you need to qualify?
Joining VodaSure’s Spend and Get Funeral Cover is simple. To qualify, you must:
- Be between the ages of 18 and 60
- Be a South African citizen or permanent resident
- Spend a minimum of R120 per month on Vodacom airtime or data bundles
One of the biggest benefits is that there are no medical exams required when signing up.
Is there a waiting period?
Yes and no, it depends on the type of claim.
For accidental death, cover begins from the first day of the following month after registration, provided your R120 spend requirement has been met.
For natural death, there is a three-month waiting period from your policy start date. So if you sign up on 2 June, natural death claims will only become valid from 2 September.

What happens if you spend less than R120?
Life happens and sometimes you might not be able to spend R120 on recharges. If you do not meet the minimum spend requirement of R120 for one month, you will still be covered for that month under a 30-day grace period. If you spend less that R120 on recharges for a second consecutive month, then your complimentary cover will lapse and will be reset to R0.
To keep your cover active, it’s important to continue spending at least R120 on qualifying Vodacom airtime or data bundles every month. But don’t fret, VodaSure will send you reminders and keep you updated on the status of your policy.
Ready to get covered? VodaSure’s Spend and Get Funeral Cover brings you peace of mind through your everyday spending. You can make your regular Vodacom purchases work for you by unlocking R10 000 free cover to help cover funeral costs when it matters most.
