Econet Announces New ZiG Rates

Econet has announced updated rates for its services, covering GSM voice calls, SMS, and data.

The price for out-of-bundle data has been set at 17 Zig cents per megabyte. Based on the current parallel market exchange rate of 35, this translates to approximately half a US cent per megabyte, or around US $5.50 for a gigabyte.

As a general guideline, it is advisable to avoid using airtime for out-of-bundle data, as it tends to be significantly more expensive—often three times or more the cost of bundled data.

To disable out-of-bundle browsing on Econet, simply dial *143#, select option 2, then option 5, followed by option 2.
