Government push for affordable data gains ground as Telecel ups bundle value

Telecommunications giant Telecel Ghana has announced an upward adjustment to its data bundle offerings, giving customers more data at no additional cost.

The move aligns with a recent directive from the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, which called on telecommunications companies operating in the country to improve the value of data bundles for Ghanaians.

Effective Tuesday, July 1, 2025, customers of Telecel will automatically receive at least 10 percent more data across all bundle categories, including both single and combo packages, according to a statement issued by the company.

One of the most notable adjustments is the telco’s GH¢400 bundle, which will now offer 250GB instead of the previous 190GB, a 32 percent increase.

The decision to revise data bundles follows months of growing customer concerns about the affordability of data services amid Ghana’s challenging economic conditions.

According to the company, the revisions were made in consultation with sector regulators and the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation.

“This boost in data bundles is about putting real savings back into the hands of our customers. We are focused on raising the bar for value and affordability in connectivity,” Director of Consumer Business at Telecel Ghana, Aneth Muga, said in a statement sighted by GhanaWeb Business.

The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, recently announced a policy requiring all telecom providers to increase data bundle value to provide better support for Ghanaians.

The company acknowledged that while the adjustments come with operational costs, it views the move as a necessary investment in customer satisfaction and national digital inclusion efforts.

It also indicated that alongside the bundle revisions, it will continue investing in network expansion and upgrades to ensure reliable service delivery.

Meanwhile, consumer advocacy groups have welcomed the move but continue to call for improved pricing transparency and sustained efforts to make internet access more affordable across Ghana, especially in underserved areas.
