Ghana Increases Data Bundle Prices: A Blow to Consumers?

Ghanaian Government Announces Data Bundle Price Hikes. Starting July 1st, mobile network users in Ghana will see significant increases in data bundle prices. The government's announcement has sparked concern among consumers. Tigo Ghana, for example, has increased data bundles across the board. Their GH¢100 bundle has been upgraded from 195GB to 236GB. AirtelTigo has also implemented a 10% increase across all data bundles. MTN Ghana has announced a 15% increase across all data bundles, with their GH¢399 bundle now offering 214GB (previously 186GB). One user commented, "This is too much! Data is already expensive." The increases reflect the government's efforts to increase revenue, but the impact on affordability for many Ghanaians remains a key concern. The situation underscores the importance of affordable internet access for economic development and social inclusion.
