In this article, we do a comparison of WhatsApp Bundles offered by Econet, NetOne, and Telecel. We’re doing this comparison in September 2020 so take note because recently, the prices are changing every couple of months.
NetOne WhatsApp Bundles
NetOne has had the priciest WhatsApp Bundles since its early August price hike. This hasn’t changed despite price increases by Econet and Telecel in the past couple of weeks.

Econet WhatsApp Bouquets
Econet calls them Bouquets but it’s the same thing really. There’s a slight difference in the offering though. Econet combines WhatsApp with other apps like Pinterest and Sasai.

Which network’s WhatsApp Bundles are the best?
Which network is best is a difficult question to answer. If we were going with price alone, no doubt Telecel would be the network of choice. But this is not just a price matter.
Network coverage is more important. Depending on where you stay, you will most likely have to choose the network that has the best signal in that area.
NetOne and Econet have been known to generally have better coverage than Telecel. But the signal strength of even those 2 networks will vary depending on the location.
Ultimately, the best plan is to get a sim card from each of 3 operators and test it out where you stay or wherever you connect from the most. If satisfied with the signal, then you can compare prices.
