Ghana’s Ministry Of Communications Reduces Data Cost, Bundle Volumes To Go Up At No Extra Cost, Effective From July 1 

The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, has announced a 15% increase in data bundle values across all major mobile networks in Ghana, effective July 1, 2025.

According to the Minister, the decision is aimed at addressing long-standing concerns about pricing and service quality in Ghana’s telecommunications sector. The revised data bundles are expected to provide better value for money to consumers.

MTN 92gb plan will become 214gb. Airtel 92gb, increases to 256gb, for the same price. They hope to achieve around 50% cost reduction by Q4.

The Minister also highlighted several additional measures aimed at improving service delivery. The three major telecom operators—AirtelTigo, Telecel, and MTN—have committed to investing approximately $150 million collectively in their networks by the end of 2025 to enhance service quality.

The National Communications Authority (NCA) will conduct a nationwide quality of service assessment in the final quarter of 2025. Telecom providers that fail to meet performance standards will face sanctions. The NCA will also conduct quarterly billing integrity tests to ensure consumers are charged fairly and accurately.

The move comes at a time when high data costs continue to burden both consumers and digital entrepreneurs, especially in underserved areas.

Hon. Samuel Nartey George also mentioned that the Ministry is working on implementing a telecom tariff framework that may lead to additional cost savings for consumers
