TELECEL Zimbabwe has introduced Telecash bundles that allow subscribers to carry out any transaction at no cost upon paying a once-off monthly fee of up to $5.

The mobile phone operator said the bundles will allow subscribers to send money, cash out and pay bills at no charge for 25 days after paying a flat bundle fee of either $2.50 or $5 depending on individual preferences.

Telecel head of mobile financial services, Arthur Matsaudza, said the innovation was a way of giving value to the customers.

“The Telecash bundles are our way of continuing to provide value for our customers.

“We’ve used bundles for our data and voice services and it was only natural to consider offering Telecash bundles to our customers,” said Matsaudza.

“These bundles will create more value for our Telecash users as we continue to innovate and bring affordability to our Telecash platform. I urge all our customers to register for Telecash and start using these affordable bundles.”

The $2.50 bundle allows registered Telecash subscribers to send up to $500 to registered numbers at no charge.

A $5 bundle allows registered Telecash subscribers to send up to $1,000 to registered numbers at no charge.

The bundle also allows subscribers cash out at no charge for transactions valued at $1,000.

The Telecash platform has to date clocked one million users with Telecel hoping the new bundles will increase the number of registered users.
