    Other plans include a 5GB/50-minute plan with 14-day validity for R99 and a 10GB/100-minute plan for R199 with 30-day validity (more details in the table below).

    All the plans include bundled on-net (MTN to MTN) calls (equal to the allocation of all-net minutes) as well as data for use with specific apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp and YouTube.
