It houses quality creation transcending traditional women’s interest category titles under one easy and accessible portal. The service serves as the north star for young women in South Africa. Women who deserve a media space that inspires and empowers them with a bright future. The service is available to Vodacom customers only.
The Service is accessible via mobile friendly web portal (HTML5) with SMS content.
Registration and Cancellation of Glow Service
To subscribe to Glow Service you must send one of the valid subscription keywords (‘OK’, ‘Yes’) to the dedicated SMS long code (MSISDNMSIS), or dial *126*5# USSD string. Upon confirming your subscription to the Glow Service, you will receive a confirmation SMS from the dedicated SMS long code 0820099022), along with instructions to participate in the Service, access to the web portal (HTML5), pricing information and indications to cancel the subscription.

Subscribers who join the Glow service are considered Users of the Service until they cancel their subscription.
A Subscription can also be cancelled at the sole discretion of Vodacom, in the event of a clear expression of non-interest in participating in the Service is demonstrated by a User (after subscription), via SMS communication (e.g. the User sending an SMS message reporting “I do not want to participate”).
Users who cancel their subscription can re-register at any given time by sending the defined registration keyword(s) to the dedicated long code.
The service is not available to roaming users.
Subscription Charges of the Glow Service
Each customer will be eligible for a one (1) day Free Trial period to access the Glow Service, upon completing the subscription to Glow Service for the first time. Users will be able to fully access content during this period. This free one (1) day period is only available once for each customer, from the date a customer first confirms his subscription. On the same free day, Users will be notified that charging will commence from the next day. At this point, Users can opt out from the Service or continue to the charging model from day 2.
The weekly subscription charge for the Glow Service is ZAR 25,00/week (incl. VAT) or ZAR 5,00/day (incl. VAT) or lesser amount per day.. Every week, Users are charged via the weekly billing cycle that runs while a subscription is active. Upon each successful charge renewal of the weekly subscription, Users are given access to:
- Daily content
- Daily SMS
Upon first activation of the Free Trial period, Users are given access to:
- Daily content
- Daily SMS
In case of repeated unsuccessful charges, Vodacom reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate the Service to the affected User.
All the interactions that the Users will have with the Service via SMS will be free of charge. Data charges may apply for accessing the Service website https://glow-portal.vodacom.co.za
In the event that Vodacom is unable to bill for the full subscription fee for this Service, Vodacom will implement micro-billing at Vodacom’s discretion. Micro billing occurs when a user that is subscribed or subscribing to the Service does not have sufficient funds in their account (airtime balance) to pay for the service. Micro-billing will allow for Vodacom to charge a discounted subscription in the event that the user’s airtime balance is less than the subscription fee until the full amount is collected. If we are successful in billing an amount, in part of the full amount for the end of the applicable period (day, week, or month, depending on the option chosen), that billing record will stand as completed billing for that particular period (day, week, or month, depending on the option chosen). Billing for the next period will revert back to attempting to bill the full stated price. Billing does not occur in arrears. In order to optimize micro-billing, Vodacom reserves the right to check if a customer has a sufficient funds in their account before attempting to micro bill.
How this will work is as below:
A. When the user attempts to purchase the R25/week subscription and their airtime balance is:
● Less than R25 but more than or equal to R5, the User will be charged R5 to gain access for the day
● When a user attempts to purchase the R5/day subscription and their airtime balance is:
● Less than R3 but more than or equal to R2, the user will be charged R2
● Less than R2 but more than or equal to R1, the user will be charged R1
B) In the event that you are a Vodacom prepaid or top-up subscriber, you acknowledge that you must have enough airtime available for payment of the subscription to keep it in an active state. You acknowledge that in the event we are unable to bill any valid value for your subscription, we will continue to attempt to bill and enable the subscription for a maximum period of 21 days after the last successful bill collected. Should we be unable to collect any funds for a period of 21 consecutive days, you will be automatically unsubscribed from the service
