As South Africans continue to face rising living costs, unexpected expenses remain a major financial strain for many households. With funeral costs often reaching tens of thousands of rands, Vodacom is offering a practical solution, a free funeral cover that only requires a regular monthly mobile recharge.
Through Vodacom’s new free funeral cover campaign, prepaid customers who recharge a total of R120 or more per month can qualify for R10,000 funeral cover at no additional cost. The offering represents extraordinary value at a time when financial protection is increasingly critical for South African families.
Funeral cover can come with various application requirements and payment commitments, but Vodacom simplifies the process completely. Prepaid customers can recharge with any amount throughout the month, and once their recharge reaches R120, they qualify to register for funeral cover.
With more South Africans looking for ways to protect their families from the financial strain that can arise after a loved one’s passing, this funeral cover is designed to be accessible, straightforward, and genuinely valuable.
Registration is seamless. Customers who recharge with R120 monthly can register for funeral cover through the VodaPay App, or dial *123# on their phone. Once registered and qualified, the cover will be activated on the first day of the month, which gives customers peace of mind with every recharge.
The R10,000 funeral cover is underwritten by Vodacom Life Assurance, a licensed life insurer.
Prepaid customers can register anytime:
- Recharge with R120 per month
- No Paperwork
- No Medicals
- Register on VodaPay App or *dial 123#
- Receive R10,000 funeral cover, commencing on the 1st of the new month – no paperwork, no delays.
