How to Make Free Phone Calls With Cell Phones Via Vodacom

Use Night Shift to talk for free.

Vodacom offers cellphone service to millions of customers in African countries, such as Lesotho, Mozambique and Tanzania. To use the Vodacom service, customers buy prepaid airtime bundles. Buying airtime allows you to use your cellphone without locking into a contract, but prepaid minutes are often pricey. If you use your Vodacom cellphone often, sign up for a Night Shift subscription. With Night Shift, Vodacom gives you one free hour of talk time per day between the hours of 12 and 5 a.m.

Instructions

1. Dial "*111#" on your Vodacom cell phone to open the MyPhone menu.

2. Press "6" to select the Night Shift option. At the prompt, select either the R10 or the R30 subscription. The R10 subscription lasts for seven days. The R30 subscription lasts for one month.

3. Check your text messages. Vodacom sends you a text message to confirm your successful subscription to Night Shift.

4. Place a call between midnight and 5 a.m. to talk free for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, Vodacom deducts used airtime from your account.

Tips & Warnings

• Renew your Night Shift subscription to continue getting free airtime. When your subscription expires, Vodacom send a text message prompting you to renew it. You can cancel the subscription at any time.

• Check the Vodacom website often for free airtime promotions.

• Free airtime does not include video calls.
