About Vodacom Life

Vodacom is South Africa’s leading network provider and one of the most recognized and loved global brands.

Whether you’re making use of their network, have a device contract, or are a loyal customer of their financial services, when you choose Vodacom you know you’re going to get value for money and excellent, reliable services.

From humble beginnings to a global giant

Vodacom launched its GSM cellular phone network in 1993 and has grown immensely since then into the country’s leading communication services provider. After establishing themselves in SA, they launched in Lesotho and then Tanzania only a few years later and are now one of the continent’s largest communications companies.

Giving back to the community

From their SME development endeavours to their dedication to education and digital democratization, Vodacom gives back to the communities they serve.  They believe that technology can uplift and transform the lives of the most vulnerable people and communities and strive to use technology to provide better access to health, education, and financial services.

They’re also dedicated to mitigating the impact of their own operation on the environment (by half by 2025!) and are dedicated to helping others do the same with the use of new innovations and solutions.

Vodacom Life Services

Vodacom offers life cover of up to R1.5 million that comes with affordable premiums from as little as R100 per month.

Your premiums will, however, be dependent on your cover amount and risk profile and these premiums (as well as your cover) are subject to change as your needs change. This cover will pay out a lump sum to your loved ones in the event that you pass away or are severely injured or disabled.

Vodacom's Life cover features and benefits

  • Get cover of up to R1 million
  • Access a 20% discount on premiums by applying online
  • Enjoy immediate accidental death cover and natural death cover after just 3 months
  • Increase your life cover as circumstances and needs change
  • Add as many beneficiaries as needed
  • No medical checks are required, a small blood test is sufficient
  • High value with low premiums and extensive cover

Option to include injury benefit to your policy

You can choose to add an injury benefit to your life cover. This benefit is referred to as an accelerator and will payout a lump sum if you’re injured or sustain serious trauma and experience disfigurement, paralysis, or a loss of vision, hearing, or speech ability.

In the event that this accelerator benefit is active, and the payout is calculated to be less than the full benefit, the remaining amount will remain available for further death or injury payouts.
