A couple of days ago Econet sent out a notice to customers warning them of a bundle price adjustment that would take effect on the 10th of December. We then later learned that Econet was going to increase its bundle prices by around 20% across the board.
The 10th has arrived and here are the new prices:

Why are Zimbabweans not using sasai, those prices š±
not every1 uses econet. econet imbavha that y some of don’t want a marriage with tgis blood sucking vampire. personal i have had bad experience with kwese n their other product b4 ecosure. a lot of pipo have simply failed to opt out of buddie bitz the list z endless.
things are getting out of hand across the broad spectrum. POTRAZ must intervene and regulate the prices.
Surely we need some government intervention in regulating prices.
