Econet Gives All Subscribers 3 Free Minutes
In what is good news for Zimbabweans, the country’s largest mobile service provider Econet has said it will give all its subscribers 3 free minutes today.
Econet said the 3 free minutes can be used by subscribers to call any Econet number between 8PM to 9PM on Sunday 26 July, 2020.
The mobile service provider said the free minutes are a form of appreciation to its customers following the service interruptions on 24 July 2020.
Econet goes on to apologise for the service disruptions which saw its customers unable to make calls, payments using EcoCash as well as access the internet.
Savanna News publishes the full statement by Econet regarding the free minutes:
Dear Valued Customer,

Stay connected with your family and friends.
We thank you for your patience during the 24 July service interruptions. We truly appreciate your continued support and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Econet’s service was disrupted on 24 July in what the mobile serve provider said was a “technical challenge” affecting voice calls.
On Saturday, Econet sent a message stating that the issue had been resolved and that customers could now use their services without any issues.
While some customers welcome the move by Econet to provide free minutes as a form of appreciation some argue that the 24 July issues still persist with one subscriber on Twitter writing:
