Price = the network's published price including VAT. Rand per anytime GB = price divided by anytime data; night-time and bonus data are not counted. Click a heading to sort; click again to reverse, a third time for provider order.
How to read the table
- Rand per GB counts anytime data only - "Night owl" and "Night Surfer" data only works late at night, so it is shown under the bundle size but left out of the sum.
- Validity changes what a bundle is worth to you - a daily bundle expires at midnight, a monthly one after 30 days, and some Telkom bundles last 61 days.
- Some bundles are only sold in one channel, such as Vodacom's "VodaPay exclusive" bundles - that is in the Notes column.
- Unlimited plans have no per-GB price - rain does not publish a GB figure for them, so the column says so instead of guessing.
- A figure we could not read off the network's own page shows "Data pending" - we leave it blank rather than guess.
Facts, not advice. This is published information about each bundle and plan, shown side by side. MaxWealth does not rank, recommend or sell any of them, and is not paid by any network. Confirm the price and the terms with the network before you buy.
