According to the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ), NetOne’s mobile voice traffic increased by 18.51% to 617.86 million minutes.
Econet, the market leader, saw a 9.14% increase in voice traffic, while Telecel’s voice traffic grew by 11.10% to 1.05 million minutes. Despite the growth, Econet ceded 0.92 percentage points in market share, while Telecel’s position remained stable at 0.02%.
