Econet Wireless Zimbabwe’s new SmartBiz unlimited data packages, launched a month ago, are being used by more customers across the country who need fast, consistent and reliable data connectivity.
SmartBiz is proving popular with small businesses, schools and organisations seeking a convenient and affordable broadband solution.
Mr Fadzai Murimbika, a small business owner from Harare, said he is happy with SmartBiz’s performance, particularly its speed and dependability.
“The internet speed is incredibly fast and what’s more impressive for me is the consistency. SmartBiz has been reliable even during peak hours, which is important for my business. It has allowed me to complete online transactions quickly and stay connected with clients without any interruptions,” he said.
Ms Sarah Nyamadzawo, a Gweru resident and college lecturer, spoke of how the SmartBiz package has made a significant difference in the education sector.
“For the first time, our students have access to online learning platforms without interruption. Smartbiz has made it easier to collaborate with fellow educators and explore a wider range of teaching materials,” she said.
SmartBiz offers a range of connectivity options to meet the needs of small to medium enterprises, farmers, schools and churches, with packages tailored for different client use patterns.
The product is designed to be affordable for the majority of business owners.
“We’ve seen a tremendous improvement in our daily operations,” said Ms Sokuluhle Ngwenya, owner of a gift and speciality shop in Bulawayo.
“The reliable data speeds mean I can process orders faster, manage deliveries efficiently and respond to customer queries in real time. SmartBiz has transformed how we do business.”
Mr Calton Mutambi, who runs an agribusiness, said: “We rely heavily on real-time data transmission and SmartBiz has proved to be a game-changer for us.
“With dependable internet speeds, we can monitor market prices, send information to clients and coordinate shipments without delays. It’s empowering local businesses like ours.”
Consumer advisory website, ZimPriceCheck.com, recently called Econet’s introduction of SmartBiz as a “game-changer.”
“What sets SmartBiz apart from its competitors is its flexibility. Unlike other services that are geo-locked, SmartBiz lines can be used anywhere — whether you’re at home, in the office, or on the move — giving users a distinct edge,” the website noted.
Econet has over the past two years been heavily investing in network infrastructure upgrades to allow for faster 4G connectivity throughout much of the country, and super-fast 5G connectivity in some towns and cities.
