Cellphone giant Econet announced it has dropped its international voice call rates by up to 25% for countries in the region and to 20 cents a minute for calls to the UK, US, China and Canada.

Econet call rates reduction notices were published in the press.

It is not yet clear whether the Post and Telecommunications Regulation Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) has to rule on whether the prices can stay or not.

In 2013, Potraz had to tell Econet to re-apply for permission to run a promotion in which they slashed tariffs by 60%.

Potraz said that the promotion that was being run by the mobile giant was not the one they had approved and as such was illegal.
