Own Correspondent|State-owned mobile network operator NetOne has sharply increased the price of its mobile data effective from 25 April 2019.

The mobile network operator announced the price increases twenty four hours before the effective date.

The popular WhatsApp bundle which would give users 250 megabytes data for a week for a dollar will now only give fifty megabytes for the same amount valid for only two days.

Below are the new charges which have been described as “crazy” by most users.

The once very popular OneFusion bundles that attracted a lot of customers to Netone have had their sizes in megabytes reduced down, with the $10 fusion now coming with 15 minutes of calls and a mere 180 MB of data.

The $20 OneFusion comes with 400 MB of data and 25 minutes of calls. To achieve 1 GB of data via the OneFusion platform, one would have to part with $50.

Most of the users who responded to the tariff increase on social media threatened that they will immediately quit the government owned mobile network service provider for other service providers.
