Following Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ)’s decision to allow mobile network operators (MNOs) and internet service providers to increase their tariffs, Econet Wireless has increased the price of its voice calls.
According to Techzim, Econet now has per second billing and per minute billing, although it is not clear how these will work. |

If this amount is changed to USD at the interbank rate of USD 1: RTGS$ 3, it translates to USD 0.76 per minute. Yikes
For per minute billing, Econet is charging RTGS$ 0.22 per minute ($0.21257).

However, POTRAZ had ordered MNO’s to use per second as per minute billing was deemed unfair since customers have to pay for the full minute even if they have used only 5 seconds.
