Telecommunication companies across Ghana have begun implementing a government directive to increase data bundle offerings by 10 to 15 percent, effective Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
The move comes in response to widespread public complaints over the high cost of internet services and aims to provide more value to subscribers. The Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation, which spearheaded the initiative, says the adjustment is part of broader efforts to improve digital access and affordability.
As part of the new policy, mobile network operators MTN, Telecel, and AT have revised their data bundles upward. AT and Telecel have increased data volumes by 10 percent across all bundles, while MTN has raised its allocations by 15 percent.
Significant changes have been made to high-tier plans. AT’s GHC400 package now offers 236GB, up from 195GB. Telecel has raised its GHC400 bundle to 250GB, a substantial increase from 90GB.
MTN has reintroduced its GHC399 package, which now offers 214GB, compared to the 92.88GB previously included in a GHC350 plan.
Sector Minister Sam George has directed the National Communications Authority (NCA) to ensure strict compliance, warning that non-compliant telcos will face sanctions.
Leading up to the implementation, mobile operators began notifying customers of the updated pricing structures, aligning with the government’s directive.
