Techzim Podcast: Powertel & Africom’s new packages, Econet’s $1 promo and Telecare

Nigel Gambanga Avatar

Here’ s this week’s edition of the Techzim Podcast. In this episode we touched on Powertel’s internet bundles, Africom’s $5 a week offering, Econet’s $1 a day promotion live test and Telecel’s Telecare insurance that was launched together with an Android app for telecash.

If you are a Powertel subscriber how much of a disruption will the new bundles be for you? Does the $5 weekly “unlimited “Africom package seem like its worth it for you instead? What are your thoughts on Econet’s $1 promotion?

    I’ve been using the africom’s sim on the powertel’s modem since i bought the line i never owned the powertel’s sim card, how ever its not about plugging your sim into the modem and go gooogling, you have to configure the modem with your africom settings as using powertel’s default settings wont get you connected .

    Just for interest’s sake what are the window periods for Powertel’s new capped data bundles or are they unlimited until the get exhausted?
