Terms of Service

Use of the Site

DataCost is provided for general informational and comparison purposes. You may use the site for lawful personal use and decision support.

You may link to DataCost pages, but you may not copy substantial portions of our content, tables, or page structure for republication without permission.

You may not misuse the site, interfere with availability, or attempt to access restricted systems.

Pricing and Availability

Telecom pricing changes frequently. While we work to keep content current, final offer terms, pricing, and eligibility are determined by network operators and partners.

Always verify checkout details on the official provider page before purchase.

DataCost is not a live billing system and cannot see your individual SIM profile, personalised offers, credit eligibility, or retailer checkout terms.

Personalised deals, network app offers, USSD menu campaigns, and location-specific packages may differ from public baseline pricing shown on DataCost.

Third-Party Links and Network Affiliation

DataCost links to operator and partner websites for purchases or additional information. We are not responsible for third-party content, terms, privacy, or service delivery.

Unless a page clearly states otherwise, DataCost is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by MTN, Vodacom, Telkom, Cell C, Rain, or any retailer mentioned on the site.

Corrections and User Contributions

Users may send corrections, pricing notes, or USSD feedback. By sending a correction, you allow DataCost to review, verify, summarise, and use that information to improve public site content.

Please do not send SIM PINs, OTPs, ID numbers, banking details, private account screenshots that reveal sensitive information, or login credentials.

Advertising and Referrals

DataCost may display advertising, sponsored placements, or referral links. Commercial arrangements should not control editorial rankings, correction decisions, or methodology notes.

Any purchase, subscription, recharge, or registration completed on a third-party site is governed by that provider's terms.

Liability and Scope

DataCost does not provide financial, legal, or telecom contract advice. Use of the site is at your own discretion.

To the extent permitted by law, DataCost is not liable for losses arising from reliance on outdated pricing or third-party service issues.
