Plug’d by Telkom keeps you moving with exclusive bundles, perks and extras built for the way you really live, work and make things happen.

Your plug-in to exclusive bundles, deals and a 1GB head start

If your days are all hustle – lectures, side hustles and keeping things social – while you’re laying the groundwork for a successful future, you don’t have time to get stuck because you’ve run out of connectivity options. You also don’t want to go broke doing all this.

That’s where Plug’d by Telkom comes in. Plug’d steps up to give you the things it knows you need to stay connected to culture, education and hustle. It’s a solution that’s built around how South Africa’s 18-to-24s really live – fast, connected and always figuring out the next step.

When you register for Plug'd, you’ll get your first 1GB free* on registration as a quick boost to get you online, active and moving. Plug’d is flexible and super-useful (thanks, Telkom!).

Your plug to exclusive bundles and offers

Plug’d is designed for connected peeps who are doing the most with limited time and even tighter budgets. Being online is Step 1. Plug’d brings the tools and bundles to keep you connected, and opportunities to help you level up.

From your first login, you can unlock a mix of bundles, content and perks that fit how you live, whether it’s studying, working, building something, or all three at once.

Affordable bundles that actually stretch, so why limit your connectivity access?

When you’re doing everything on your phone, Plug’d keeps things manageable with options that don’t lock you in to only one way of using your data.

You’ve got:

• Combo bundles from R45 for 31 days: Data plus minutes for everyday use.
• Data bundles from R19, with 14-day validity when you need a quick top-up.

It’s flexible enough to work around how your month actually goes – not how complicated contract wording thinks it should. The smart move is to mix and match. Pair a combo bundle with a social or WhatsApp bundle so you’ve always got coverage when you need it.

Check in on the MyTelkom App for new deals, rewards and limited offers.

Stay connected without watching the clock

There are some things in life that you just don’t want to ration – like great conversations. Unlimited WhatsApp for 31 days (text, voice and video) from R25 means your group chats, calls and catch-ups don’t come with that constant “How much data is left?” stress.

Plug’d isn’t only about staying online – it’s about what you can do once you’re there.

You get access to:

• Learning content through Telkom Learn.
• Opportunities for job seekers and skills development.
• Gaming and entertainment through Telkom Plus.

The idea is simple: your data should take you somewhere, whether that’s finishing an assignment, landing a gig or figuring out your next move.

Rewards that land when you need them

Plug’d also gives you extras that make your spend go further. Through promos like Tap2Win, you can score airtime, data and rewards just for staying active.
