Free 3G HSDPA upgrades for Vodacom subscribers

Effective from 21 April 2006, any customer who owns a locally purchased Vodacom 3G Data Connect Card can visit any Vodacom-approved outlet for a free swop-out to a 3G HSDPA Data Connect Card - dependant upon stock availability and proof of original purchase within South Africa. Customers who upgraded within the last month can receive a credit on their account by visiting their original point of purchase. Vodacom's HSDPA network offers users downlink speeds of up to 1.8Mbs, which is faster than ADSL and up to five times faster than 3G.
