- These are similar to NetOne’s popular One Fusion bundles

On data bundles
Zimbabwean operators typically offer data bundles that cover specific popular services such as WhatsApp in addition to traditional data bundles that allow you to connect to the entire internet. Telecel is no exception.
A note about 4G
While Telecel markets itself as a 4G network reality says otherwise. While we are not privy to how many 4G base stations they actually have the reality is that 99% of the time you will be connecting via 3G (HSPDA in some instances but still 3G). Expect typical speeds of around 2 Mbps as compared to NetOne and Telecel’s speeds which are around 50 Mbps. Depending on your use case that might not be a bad thing as it will mean your data will last longer. But it means you cannot easily use other services such as streaming and video chat which might stutter and fail.
Telecel Funda e-Learning Bundles
These bundles are meant for school/college students and are sold in batches usually through the institution. They are a novel feature of the coronavirus. They work like normal bundles and are often sold to people who are not students on the black market.
