Mobile operator Vodacom has launched support for eSIM devices in South Africa along with a new accompanying service, called OneNumber, that allows users to use a single mobile phone number across multiple devices. The first devices the network will launch with eSIM support out of the box are Samsung’s recent 42mm and 46mm Galaxy Watch (the LTE editions).
We asked Vodacom for more information on how its new eSIM offering works and is priced. This is what the operator had to say.
Yesterday we found that Vodacom intended to charge its users to roll over mobile data, something that was due to come into effect thanks to last year’s Icasa ruling. A lot can happen in 24 hours. Today Vodacom has issued an update stating that that data-rollover would be free-of-charge, though there still seem to be some terms and conditions attached.
