The phone also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, 512MB of internal storage, and is powered by a 1200mAh battery.

The device will be available for R299 at all Vodacom stores and Takealot.

Vodacom stated that customers who purchase this device will also receive 150MB of data every month for 12 months.
