MTN and Airtel Tigo have sent messages to their customers
A text message from MTN to its customers said that SMS Voice and IDD tariffs have been reviewed upwards by 5 percent effective November 2, 2018.
This means that if it cost you 100 cedis a month to make calls with your MTN number you should be ready to pay 5 cedis more for the same period and the same amount of credit.
Meanwhile, AirtelTigo has told its customers that their tariff adjustment shows that if they were paying 15 pesewas they will be paying 16.8 pesewas on telco’s Kasa Saa promo.
This indicates an increase of 1.8 pesewas more.
