Zain Malawi reduces service, product charges

According to Zain marketing director Enwell Kadango, the reduction is part of the company's ongoing quest to provide affordable services to Malawians across the board.

A statement from the company said, effective Saturday, 28 August 2010; all Zain customers will start to benefit from a peak-hour or lunch-hour tariff reduction as it will be between 12-1pm from K46 to K25 on calls per minute, representing a reduction by 45%. A second statement said Zain sim-cards were lowered from K390 to K250 representing a reduction by 35%. While no date line is set for the tariff reduction for the sim card price reduction its validity will still stand until 30 November 2010.

Kadango said apart from the sim-pack and tariff reduction, Zain has also slashed subscription rates on Blackberries and the rate of calls on international segments. Zain is the exclusive provider of Blackberries in Malawi and also offers wider international connectivity through its One Network service, which has recently been extended to South Africa.
