Big data deals – Vodacom vs MTN vs Cell C vs Telkom

It has become normal for smartphone users to share photos and videos, and watch Netflix and YouTube in high definition.

Even if people try to avoid data-hungry applications, websites are also getting larger and people share large files through email and messaging platforms.

For smartphone users who are not connected to Wi-Fi for most of the day, a 500MB, 1GB, or 2GB data bundle is simply not enough for the month.

Good news is that all mobile operators have big data packages available to make it more affordable to consume large amounts of mobile data.
