At first, the table Econet sent out to publications said they were going to be charging $0.038 per second which translated to $2.28 per minute.

However, Econet made a typographical and mathematical error. They are actually charging $0.0036 per second which translates to around $0.23 per minute. They have officially sent a revised table with a more accurate position.

Thus, the correct position is that from 1 April 2019, Econet will be charging $0.23 per minute, NOT $2.28 per minute.

In order to keep everything in proper context and avoid confusion, we have kept the earlier article (with Econet’s error) in block quotes below:

> Econet Wireless has announced new tariffs for voice calls. It has split its billing into per second billing and per minute billing.

> The assumption is that customers will be given the option to choose what they want, whether to be billed per minute or per second.

> Econet will now be charging $0.22 per minute ($0.21257). It’s not too far from where tariffs used to be. However, per minute billing means that even if your call lasts for 10 seconds, you will still pay the 22 cents.

> The new tariff increase is with effect from April 1, 2019.

> POTRAZ has not yet issued a statement over the move by Econet, as it is issued a directive last week that MNOs should keep the tariffs at the same levels.
