The app serves as a self-help tool with which you can manage your account, but data, and airtime, and carry out other simple transactions.

The only thing one has to worry about before you can get the app on your device is to make sure it is compatible with the specified app you are trying to download.
Beyond network-related activities like buying data, airtimes, voice bundles, and managing your account and activities, the app also makes it possible for you to also carry out some activities that are not relating to your network, such as paying your bills using a credit or debit card and also earning some bucks known to make purchases of your choice.
Whether one is a contract customer, a top-up customer, or even a prepaid customer, the app is tailored to meet the needs of all subscribers.
How To Access My Vodacom Account
Although one of the easiest and most convenient ways of accessing your account is through the mobile app, it is not the only available means. You can also have access to your account using either the Vodacom website or USSD codes:
Vodacom Website
Accessing your Vodacom account through the website is very easy, but before you can proceed, you will need to have data on the device you are using. Now, you can proceed from the website and select Personal, followed by Services, and My Vodacom. At the top right corner, you will see a login Icon. Click on it and then register if you are coming for the first time.
If, on the other hand, you have previously registered, simply simply click on Login and input your details. This will allow you access to manage your account.
USSD Self-service
Probably easier than all the other means of accessing your account and the services is using the USSD Self-service code. To do this, simply dial *135# from your Vodacom cellphone and select what you want.
