NetOne raises bundle prices by over 100%
State owned telecommunications company, NetOne, which apparently has been experiencing never-ending boardroom squabbles has shockingly increased bundle prices by more than 100%.
The latest increase comes at a time when the local telecommunications companies were given the green light to charge their services in line with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s prevailing auction foreign currency rates.
The current foreign currency auction rate stands at 80.
Following the announcement of the bundle price review, the company’s customers woke up to a shocking increase.
Popular social media bundles, notably WhatsApp, which used to be $60 for a monthly 300mb now cost $150.
The company’s most loved data bundle, Night Bundle, which used to offer 1Gig for only $50 has almost tripled to $120 for the same data package.
This data bundle allows users to access the internet at affordable prices between 2200hrs – 0500hrs.
The Hourly data bundles also known as Amasixty have doubled from $30 to $60.
Onefusion Premium now costs $800 from $360 while its entry package, onefusion lite, has gone up to $250 from $100.
One-Fi packages now cost $2500, $4500, and $6000 for 25 GB, 50 GB, and 80 GB respectively.
Here are the old and new prices:
