Brief History

NetOne was the first mobile network operator to exist in the Zimbabwe market. They launched in 1996 with just 2000 lines during the World Solar Summit. The company has been in operation since then.

The company, which recently announced their new data tariffs review, is aiming to become the first providers of the 5G network and has already begun working towards that goal.

NetOne Anniversary Gift To Users

NetOne has just announced that users can buy their 5GB data for ridiculously cheap for just $ZWL500. This offer will last for today only.

The mobile network operator shared the following:

Celebrate NetOne’s 25th Anniversary with 5GB Anniversary Bundle. Purchase the 5GB data bundle (valid for 25hrs) for $ZWL 500 & earn entry into the weekly draw. Entry into all weekly draws earns entry into the monthly draw. Stand a chance to win phones, MiFis devices and loads of airtime

Are We Paying More Than We Think For The Cheap Anniversary Bundle?

This seems to be such a generous move by NetOne, however, one would wonder whether the price of this anniversary bundle is not already included in the data as their data prices ironically change the day after this cheap offer. Food for thought.

Anyways, hurry before the anniversary bundle offer expires.

The data rollover facility allowed TelOne customers to carry over their unused data to the next, prior to this introduction of this facility, unused data would expire after 30 days.

TelOne has been facing viability challenges, the company has resorted to selling handsets, and even their video on demand (VOD) platform DEOD recently reduced subscriptions prices when everyone else is hiking tariffs, a sign that things are not looking good at the parastatal.

The reason cited for the suspension is that the facility is that the rollover facility was causing instability on their platform, which was impacting other services.

In our view the decision has more to do with low revenues, when the facility was introduced it obviously meant that customers would stay longer without buying new bundles, by reverting to the old system they are able to make money even in instances where services were not rendered.

It looks like regulators in Zimbabwe are giving telecoms companies’ free reign without checks and balances, in the end it is the consumer that suffers.
