After some extensive testing last year, the company decided to launch its new Mobile Plan for only R49.

At home or on the go, now more people can watch all the shows and movies Netflix has to offer, wherever and whenever they want.A

Like the other plans, there are also no advertisements, you will have access to all episodes at the same time, and you will also have all the other mobile features that already exist on the Netflix mobile app.

There are also a few added extras that will help further better the mobile streaming experience.
Seeing as how social media is an integrated part of our daily lives and we want to share almost everything with our friends, family, and followers, it only makes sense that Netflix have created a feature that allows you to share what you have enjoyed watching or currently are watching on the app.
You will now be able to do that by sharing your Netflix choices on Instagram stories.

So there's something for everyone! Which is their specialty, really.
