NetOne Zimbabwe ‘Robs’ Customers with Data Bundle Tweaks

NetOne ‘Robs’ Customers with Data Bundle TweaksReporter-There is growing public outrage after state-owned mobile operator NetOne quietly altered its popular Mo’Gigs data bundles, a move that has left thousands of subscribers feeling short-changed.

 

 

 

 

In a public notice issued on Monday, November 3, NetOne announced that its data packages would now be divided into Peak and Off-Peak allocations, a shift the company described as a way to “help customers manage data more efficiently.”NetOne’s revamped Mo’Gigs bundles now offer Peak and Off-Peak data. This allows you to separate your essential, daytime data needs from your heavy, non-urgent data activities, helping you stretch your data budget further,”

the company said in a statement.

Under the new structure, Peak time runs from 7:01 AM to 12:59 AM, while Off-Peak is only from 1:00 AM to 7:00 AM—a window that most users argue is practically useless.

Subscribers to the monthly US$30 Mo’Gigs bundle, which previously offered 30 GB of anytime data, will now be restricted to 25 GB during Peak hours, with only 5 GB reserved for Off-Peak use. The change effectively limits access to the full bundle unless users are online during the early hours of the morning.

 

 

 

The revision also affects lower-tier packages. The US$7 bundle now offers 5 GB in total (4 GB Peak and 1 GB Off-Peak), the US$12 bundle provides 10 GB (8 GB Peak and 2 GB Off-Peak), while the US$15 bundle gives 15 GB, split into 12 GB Peak and 3 GB Off-Peak. The highest package, US$50 for 50 GB, now allocates 40 GB to Peak hours and 10 GB to Off-Peak.

 

 

 

Before this change, all data bundles could be used at any time of day, giving users flexibility and value for money. The new model, which effectively restricts access to a portion of the purchased data, has triggered widespread condemnation on social media and community platforms. Many customers have accused NetOne of “daylight robbery,” “dishonesty,” and “hiding behind technical jargon” to justify poor service delivery.

Health Insurance for Self-Employed Workers

Health Insurance for Self-Employed Workers

Self-employed workers must find their own health coverage. Without an employer plan, choosing insurance can feel difficult. Health insurance for self-employed workers may include marketplace plans, private health insurance, spouse coverage, or small business plans.

The right plan depends on your income, medical needs, prescriptions, doctors, and budget.

What to Compare

When shopping for private health insurance, compare premiums, deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, prescription coverage, and provider networks.

A low monthly premium may look attractive, but high deductibles can become expensive if you need care.

Ways to Save

Self-employed workers may qualify for tax deductions or premium tax credits depending on income and location. Comparing health insurance quotes can help find better pricing.

Conclusion

Health insurance is important for protecting your finances. Self-employed workers should compare plans carefully before choosing coverage.
