After several months of testing, Netflix is introducing its cheaper R49 per month mobile-only plan in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and other sub-Saharan African countries.
 

Netflix's R49 mobile-only plan in South Africa and $3.99 for sub-Saharan Africa will now compete against MultiChoice's Showmax that has a R39 per month mobile-only plan for South Africa that costs $2.99 in the rest of Africa.
 

In 2020 Netflix tested two mobile-only plans in Africa and other countries to see whether users would like these plans. On Tuesday, the company said that the video streaming service is officially making these available to users in South Africa and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa.
 

Netflix's mobile-only plan will sit alongside its other three Netflix plans of basic, standard and premium. The Netflix mobile plan can be accessed on a tablet or a smartphone and allows one stream in standard definition (SD) (520p).
