We made a typing error, its $0.0038 not $0.038 … Econet clarifies on tariff hike

After sending shockwaves in the communications sector with a whopping RTGS $2.28 per minute charge on voice calls, Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has clarified on its new voice tariffs saying that there was a typographical error in the communication that it sent out initially.

The mobile network operator had put a figure of RTGS $0.038 per second which translated to RTGS $2.28 for every minute making it very pricey indeed.

However, it has since come out and clarified saying that zero was left out by accident and that the figure should, in fact, have been RTGS $0.0038 per minute. This translates to RTGS $0.228 (22.8 RTGS Cents).
