A government decision to raise data package offerings by 10 to 15 percent, effective Tuesday, July 1, 2025, has been implemented by telecommunications firms throughout Ghana.
The action attempts to give subscribers more value and is a reaction to the public’s overwhelming complaints about the exorbitant cost of internet services. The initiative’s driving force, the Ministry of Communications and Digitalization, claims the change is a component of larger initiatives to increase digital affordability and accessibility.
Telcos begin implementation of 10–15% data increases
Mobile network providers MTN, Telecel, and AT have updated their data bundles higher in accordance with the new policy. While MTN has upped its allocations by 15%, AT and Telecel have increased data volumes by 10% across all bundles.
High-level plans have undergone significant revisions. The GHC400 plan from AT now comes with 236GB instead of 195GB. Telecel has significantly increased the capacity of its GHC400 bundle from 90GB to 250GB.
MTN has brought back its GHC399 bundle, which now comes with 214GB instead of the 92.88GB that was formerly part of a GHC350 plan.
The National Communications Authority (NCA) has been instructed by Sector Minister Sam George to enforce stringent compliance, threatening to penalize noncompliant carriers.
In accordance with the government’s instruction, cellphone operators started informing clients of the revised pricing structures prior to implementation.
