Bundles Are Dead: Econet To Announce “Smart Data Bouquets”

NetOne has done away with bundles you knew and loved (OneFusion). Telecel has done away with the bundles you knew and loved (MegaBoost). Econet has done away with the bundles you knew and did not love that much, to begin with.

From 29 April, subscribers will be accessing the internet in a much different manner than they had become accustomed to. Econet is calling them Smart Data Bouquets and they will be structured as follows:

Bouquet 1: Twitter and LinkedIn

Bouquet 2: Instagram

Bouquet 3: Facebook and Snapchat

Bouquet 4: WhatsApp and Pinterest

We are not yet sure how these products will be priced but if Telecel and NetOne are any indicators, it will be more expensive to use the internet.

The data bouquets are quite interesting in that they’ll probably be an incentive to use one service more than the other. Hopefully, the data you get if you buy Bouquet 1 won’t be split between Twitter and LinkedIn. Hopefully, you’ll be able to use all of it for whichever service you prefer.

The new data packages don’t come as a surprise as we stumbled on the new packages when they were in early development.

    I really hope the ‘bouquets’ aren’t the only options left, they are just too stifling. I just want ALL THE NET, is that too much to ask for these days?

    How do you link whatsapp and pinterest. Twitter and Linkedin facebook and snapchat. People rarely use those together. Pinterest data for Christ Sake? You simply getting one of the services if you lucky both.

    These articles aren’t long guys – please PROOF READ; it’s just so sloppy and childish these little typos all the time. I’ve been reading the South African tech blog Mybroadband for a few years now – never seen a typo EVEN ONCE – but at Techzim I see one at least every three articles. It’s embarrassing guys kunge hamuna kupasa O’level.

    Now, this I hope kuti hatirasikirwe nemebundles anenge asati apera by 29 April. I also hope this stuff won’t be a total flop.

    Bundling Facebook and Snapchat is daylight robbery. Facebook and Whatsapp should not be bundled with any of these other “unknowns”
