Zimbabwean operator Econet Wireless and One Horizon Group have partnered to launch a mobile Voice over IP service branded 'Econet Plus', which is set to remove roaming charges for users of the service.

The service has been approved by the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ). The 'Econet Plus' App is integrated with EcoCash, the mobile transactions and payment service, allowing 3.2 million subscribers to purchase credit for use on the app directly from their smartphones.

Navdeep Kapur, CMO of Econet Wireless, said customers will now be able to call home at very affordable rates through this product, no matter where they may be. Econet Wireless is Zimbabwe's largest mobile network operator with 10.2 million connected customers and 6.3 million pre-paid subscribers, representing close to 50 percent of the market.
