When we received a message from Econet saying there were going to hike the prices of their data and SMS bundles were feared the worst. Okay they didn’t say hike they just said they were going to review-and we all know what review means. Anyway the day of doom is upon us and it seems there was nothing to fear after all. Yes they have raised the prices of a few data bundles but there is nothing dramatic.
