To qualify for the free bundle, hearing impaired customers should download and complete the application form from one the following websites:
– Vodacom – http://www.vodacom.co.za/
– National Institute for the Deaf – http://www.deafnet.co.za/
– Deafsa – http://www.deafsa.co.za
– Customers can also send an SMS to 12580 and include their fax number or e-mail address where the application form can be forwarded to.
While this is a good move by Vodacom, we cannot help but think they could have added even more to these bundles.
