Disappearing data is back in South Africa

Disappearing data has reappeared in South Africa, as tests by MyBroadband revealed that both Vodacom and Cell C were consuming small amounts of data in the background. The issue was triggered by the activation of four brand-new prepaid SIM cards, each loaded with a small data bundle from its respective mobile network. Vodacom has since taken steps to address the problem, following a previous round of reporting by MyBroadband in December.
