]]>The most attractive bundle on offer is the US$10 for 10GB which works out to be much more affordable compared to their cheapest rtgs Private Wifi bundle priced at ZWL $4 320.
However, people have cried foul on Twitter firstly saying that the bundle stops working at a 2GB remaining balance. According to an Econet Wireless representative on Twitter, the 10GB bundle is divided into two, 8GB of it is “peak data” and the remaining 2GB is “off-peak data”. This means 8GB can be used any time of the day and 2GB of it can only be used at night.
Remember when people wondered what the catch in the whole deal was? This was the catch. Econet subscribers have asked why they were not well educated about the peak and off-peak conditions from the onset and they are wondering why there has to be rules on the usage of data they have bought with their own money.
Hi @ChasiNgodo, kindly note the Smart USD bundle 10GB comprises of 8GB peak data which is usable any time of day and 2GB off-peak data which is usable between 2300hrs and 0400hrs. ^YVN

I am left with 1.8 gig off peak bundles but from 10pm last night up to this morning the network was completely dead , please remove this off peak thing and allow me to use my data until I finish it at my times .

Another common outcry is how the bundles deplete very fast only lasting days for some. Many people express that this does not make sense because the 8GB Private Wifi bundle would last them a month. What could be going on? Is the 10GB not really 10GB? Below are some of the complaints lodged by Econet Wireless users.
I think we all need to agree that the new Econet SmartUSD bundle is a complete scam! Same phone, same apps,same browsing behavior, I would use the 8G e-learning bundle for a whole month,but with this new bundle, its just 3days?

]]>The *143* USSD shortcode has a new option called Smart USD Bundles. This option has Voice, SMS, Data and COMBO bundle choices. The bundles are quite reasonably priced. For example, the 10GB under Smart USD Bundles costs USD$10 but under the normal Private Wi-Fi option 8GB cost RTGS $4 320. With an average exchange rate of RTGS$220 to USD$1 the 10GB, Smart USD Bundle costs RTGS$2 200 and one would need to change USD$20 to buy the ordinary 8GB Private Wi-Fi bundle.
Many people on social media platforms are asking Econet Wireless how they can purchase the Smart USD Bundles since most people use RTGS in their Ecocash accounts. Econet has not yet officially let people know how they can purchase the new bundles in the form of ads or posts. An Econet customer services employee responded to an enquiry on Twitter by saying;
“Hi @rastawepabuse, you need to visit any Econet shop to make the purchase or you can use your FCA wallet if you have funds in your account. To purchase the bundles kindly dial *143# and select Smart USD bundles, and choose the bundle package you want and confirm. ^AIH”
So it looks like one needs to make a deposit into their Ecocash FCA account or buy USD airtime at Econet shops to purchase the bundles. These bundles are not necessarily cheap but they are better priced.
