<p>The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has stepped in to address concerns over discriminatory pricing by mobile network operators and internet service providers.</p>
<p>In the 2025 Monetary Policy Statement, RBZ Governor John Mushayavanhu said that operators are accused of favouring USD transactions over Zimbabwean dollars (ZiG). For instance, they offer internet data promotions only in USD, not ZiG. Said Mushayavanhu:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Reserve Bank has received complaints from stakeholders during the consultative meetings alleging that some mobile money operators are applying discriminatory pricing practices against ZiG in preference for USD transactions.</p>
<p>For instance, promotions for internet data packages are only available in US dollars and not in ZiG.</p>
<p>The Reserve Bank has since engaged the regulatory authority, the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ), and the Telecommunications Operators Association of Zimbabwe (TOAZ).</p>
<p>The Reserve Bank, through the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), will continue to monitor adherence to this requirement by TOAZ members.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The central bank governor added that industry players have agreed to adjust their pricing structures, allowing customers to purchase internet data packages using their preferred currency.</p>

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is making sure internet prices are fair for everyone. Some companies were only offering discounts in USD, not Zimbabwean dollars. The RBZ governor said this was unfair. The bank is now working with regulators and companies to fix this. They want to make sure people can buy internet data in any currency they want. The companies have agreed to change their prices to make things more fair for everyone. The RBZ will keep an eye on this to make sure it stays fair.

RBZ Orders Fairer Pricing For Internet Data Packages

<p><em><strong>A note from Pindula Market:</strong></em></p>
<p>With Econet airtime recharges having been down for about 7 days now, many Zimbabweans are trying out other networks temporarily.</p>
<p>NetOne is the clear alternative at the moment.</p>
<p>Given our association with Techzim, here is a guide on how to buy NetOne Airtime using EcoCash and how to make sure you convert the airtime to bundles before it gets used up.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Buy</strong></h2>
<p>You have the following options for buying NetOne Airtime:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Techzim’s USSD code *405#</strong> <em>– with this option, you can pay with EcoCash ZWL or USD whichever you choose. You can also use Innbucks.</em></li>
<li><strong>Techzim Website</strong>: You can also buy on the web using this link: <a href="https://www.techzim.co.zw/airtime/">https://www.techzim.co.zw/airtime/ </a></li>
<li><strong>NetOne OneMoney</strong>: You can also use NetOne mobile money platform, OneMoney. Ofcourse you will need to have some money there to start with.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2>Turning off Out of Bundle Browsing</h2>
<p>One complaint people have had these recent weeks is that their airtime gets used up before they have a chance to convert it to a data bundle.</p>
<p>You need to turn off Out of Bundle browsing. <strong>To do that dial *130#</strong></p>
<h2>Turn off data before you buy airtime</h2>
<p>Even with Out of Bundle Browsing turned off, sometimes strange things happen and you find your airtime has been used.</p>
<p>To avoid this just make sure data is turned off completely before you buy airtime.</p>
<p>On Android phones, do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>go to settings</li>
<li>Go to networking</li>
<li>Switch off the data component</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2>Converting NetOne Airtime to Bundles</h2>
<p>To convert NetOne airtime to Bundles dial *379#</p>
<p>You can convert to data bundles or voice bundles.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>What are the  NetOne Off Peak Hours?</h2>
<p>NetOne does not have Off Peak consumption of its data bundles.</p>
<p>The company used to have off peak consumption from 10PM to 4am the next day. However in May 2023 it scrapped off peak consumption.</p>


How to Buy NetOne Airtime With EcoCash. Converting To Bundles

<p>Econet Wireless Zimbabwe, the country’s largest mobile network operator by subscriber base, has with effect from Tuesday, 20 June, hiked data bundles.</p>
<p>In a brief notice sent via SMS to its millions of subscribers, Econet said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We are reviewing our ZWL data and SMEs bundle prices effective Tuesday, 20 June 2023.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>An 8 gig private WIFI data bundle now costs ZWL$111 342 up from ZWL$37 114 while a 15 gig bundle is now available for ZWL$201 033 up from ZWL$67 011.</p>
<p>Econent said a 25 gig will cost ZWL$294 675 from ZWL$98 225 and 50 gig users will have to pay ZWL$506 106 up from ZWL$168 702.</p>
<p>The latest tariff hike by Econet comes as the value of the Zimbabwe dollar has continued to plummet against other currencies at both official and parallel markets.</p>
<p>Some service providers are now devising ways to reject the Zimbabwe dollar such as engaging in forward rating and claiming that their point-of-sale machines are down, leaving customers with no option except to make payments in foreign currency.</p>

Econet In Massive Data Bundle Tariff Hike

<p>State-owned mobile network operator, NetOne, has launched “Dzidzo”, a data bundle for University students accessible at a discounted cost.</p>
<p>The 5GB bundle costs only ZWL$1 000 and will be valid for a week. The bundle is cheaper than the 5GB monthly bundle which goes for ZWL$4 400. </p>
<p>In a statement on Thursday, NetOne head of marketing and public relations, Roselyn Chisveto, said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Dzidzo bundle will only be valid for a week. It will be accessed via the *171# platform by numbers in the student class of service.</p>
<p>A separate Class of Service was created and Universities will be assisting in providing links to their Registry Database, where registered students with NetOne numbers will be able to access the bundle.</p>

NetOne Offers University Students A Cheaper Data Bundle

<p>Econet Wireless has called for an upward review of tariffs saying it was the only way to save the telecommunications sector from collapsing.</p>
<p>The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed diversified telecommunications group also said it is heavily constrained by the ongoing foreign currency shortages.</p>
<p>In the results statement for the year ended February 28 2021, Econet chairman James Myers called for a review of the tariff to ensure that the sector remains afloat. He said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Our headline tariffs were last reviewed in August 2020. Given the inflationary pressures experienced, we believe that another tariff review is due in order for the sector to remain viable.</p>
<p>All our pricing is determined by the regulator using given cost inputs. The timely adjustment of tariffs, using the Telecommunications Pricing Index, is critical to our continued viability as a business.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Myers also said the foreign currency shortage has crippled its operations and expressed hope that interventions by the Fiscal and Monetary authorities will improve the situation in the near future. Said Myers:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Foreign currency availability continues to be the biggest hurdle facing the Company. This has constrained our ability to provide adequate capacity to our customers.</p>
<p>The Company has encountered operational challenges to meet its capacity enhancement and routine maintenance requirements.</p>
<p>We remain hopeful that the improvements in foreign currency availability due to interventions by the Fiscal and Monetary authorities will improve this situation in the foreseeable future.</p>

<p>In terms of pricing, it’s comparable to Telecel. On most packages, Telecel is just a couple of dollars cheaper.</p>

<h2>Which network offers the best WhatsApp Bundles?</h2>
<p>Which network is best is a difficult question to answer. If we were going with price alone, no doubt Telecel would be the network of choice. But this is not just a price matter.</p>
<p>Network coverage is more important. Depending on where you stay, you will most likely have to choose the network that has the best signal in that area.</p>
<p>NetOne and Econet have been known to generally have better coverage than Telecel. But the signal strength of even those 2 networks will vary depending on the location.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the best plan is to get a sim card from each of 3 operators and test it out where you stay or wherever you connect from the most. If satisfied with the signal, then you can compare prices.</p>

WhatsApp Bundles Compared – NetOne, Econet, and Telecel

<p>Zimbabwe’s largest mobile telecommunications company Econet Wireless has advised its customers that it will review its data bundle prices in the wake of mounting costs and rising inflation.</p>
<p>Econet has however not revealed the new data prices, but the price adjustments will be effected tomorrow, Monday, 31 August 2020. The company said in a notice to its customers:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear valued customer. Please take note, bundle prices for Data will be reviewed effective Monday 31 August 2020. Dial *143# to buy Data Bundles.</p></blockquote>
<p>Econet’s main data bundle prices are indeed currently lower than those of its competitors in the mobile industry, NetOne and Telecel.</p>
<p>An 80 MB Daily bundle is ZWL$32.00 on Econet and on NetOne the same data allocation is ZWL$50.00</p>
<p>It is thought the planned bundle price adjustment will bring its data tariffs at par with those of NetOne and Telecel.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.techzim.co.zw/2020/08/econet-data-bundle-prices-set-to-be-increased-soon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Techzim</strong></a>, late last month, the Post and Telecommunications Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) gave mobile network operators (MNOs) the green light to increase prices.</p>
<p>Mobile Network Operators were also given the green light to charge in both local and foreign currency in accordance with SI 185/2020</p>
<p>This meant that MNOs were able to charge at the interbank rate at the time POTRAZ authorisation was granted. POTRAZ, however, didn’t give any indication on the interval structure of the price increases.</p>


Econet To Revise Data Bundle Prices On August 31

<p>Zimbabwe’s largest Mobile Network Operator(MNO) Econet Wireless is mulling a data bundle price hike citing rising operating costs and inflation, The Herald reports.</p>
<p>This was revealed by a source from the MNO who spoke to the publication and said:</p>
<blockquote><p>We will be reviewing our data bundle prices and it could come in a week or two, if not earlier. The price of our data bundles are, on average, currently the lowest on the market right now</p></blockquote>
<p>According to the source, Econet is expected to hike their data bundle prices by almost 50% to meet their operating costs. The planned price increase might bring the data bundle prices at par with those of other MNOs like NetOne and Telecel.</p>

Econet’s New WhatsApp And Social Media Bundle Prices 29 August 2019

<p>Mobile Network Operator (MNO), Econet Wireless announced that it will review its Data and SMS bundles on 29 August 2019.</p>
<p>This is the umpteenth time that Econet has hiked tariffs this year alone.</p>
<p>An SMS sent by Econet to its millions of subscribers read:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Customer. Please take note bundle prices for Data &amp; SMS will be reviewed effective 29 August 2019. Dial *143# or *151# to buy Data or *140# to buy SMS Bundles.</p></blockquote>
<p>The two State-owned MNOs, namely NetOne and Telecel will most likely follow suit as they have also been raising tariffs regularly.</p>
