MOBILE users in South Africa have responded positively to the lowering of data and telecommunications prices by some of the country’s largest mobile operators in 2021.

This is according to DataEQ’s latest South African Telecommunications Sentiment Index, which reveals that pricing sentiment across the telecommunications industry rose by 6.4 percentage points from that of the previous year.

The annual index is conducted in partnership with Deloitte Africa.

Vodacom, Telkom and Cell C saw the highest shifts in positive sentiment related to price changes – this after the mobile operators took the decision to decrease the price of their 1GB, 30-day data bundle offering in 2021. – moneyweb
