Do you wish to learn how to buy WhatsApp data on Vodacom? WhatsApp is the dominant messaging application in South Africa. Over 93% of people in the country use it to stay in touch with friends and family. On all mobile networks, you get the option to access WhatsApp using either normal data, or by buying specialized WhatsApp data bundles. The bundle option is the best since it is cheaper.

Limitations
Please note that Vodacom’s WhatsApp data bundle comes with a major limitation; you cannot use it for video or audio calling. That’s a big setback.
If you want to call someone via WhatsApp, you will have to buy and use normal data. The WhatsApp ticket from Vodacom is only for chatting and for downloading and uploading videos.
What are the available Vodacom WhatsApp data bundle options?
That’s how to buy WhatsApp data on Vodacom. You have a number of options when it comes to the data bundles that you can buy. These options are highlighted in the table below;
| Bundle | Price | Valid for |
|---|---|---|
| 10 MB | R1 | 1 Hour |
| 50 MB | R3 | 1 Day |
| 250 MB | R5 | 1 Day |
| 100 MB | R6 | 3 Days |
| 250 MB | R12 | 7 Days |
| 1024 MB | R35 | 30 Days |
As you can see from our table, as you purchase bigger WhatsApp bundles, you get more time in which to use the data in the bundle. The R1 bundle is probably for those only looking to chat for a little while.
Meanwhile, the R35 bundle is valid for a whole month. IT comes with 1GB of data, making it probably the most ideal of all the bundles that are on offer.
