Techzim has established that Econet Wireless Zimbabwe is the first mobile network operator to put into effect the new floor prices for mobile data as specified by the telecoms regulator, POTRAZ.
These tariffs, effective from the 11th of January 2017 have effectively raised the cost of internet in Zimbabwe. They also mean some changes to WhatsApp and Facebook bundles, the two most popular broadband packages for local mobile network operators which have also gone up in price.
NetOne and Telecel are also set to raise their tariffs to match the same prices set by POTRAZ, it’s just that Econet was the first to make the changes.
Here’s the complete list of new tariffs as established by Techzim for standard data bundles as well as WhatsApp and Facebook bundles in the table below.
