Underscoring the importance of social media to South African smartphone users — and therefore the role lower-cost bundles providing access to such services can play for telecommunications operators looking to grow their market share — Telkom has unveiled a series of new “social bundles”, offering access from as little as R1.

The new bundles provide access to Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest and TikTok.

The new bundles are available for purchase by all Telkom mobile customers and are available as daily, weekly and monthly bundles (see table below).
