Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George (MP), has officially announced a new pricing structure for mobile data bundles offered by the country’s leading telecom operators – MTN Ghana, AT Ghana (formerly AirtelTigo), and Telecel Ghana.

These changes, aimed at improving data value and consumer transparency, will take effect from July 1, 2025.

The announcement was made during a press conference at the Ministry’s Complex in Accra, following strategic consultations with CEOs of the top telecom companies.

The revised data bundle plans are designed to enhance value for Ghanaian subscribers while addressing key industry challenges.

New data bundle prices for Ghana’s Telecom operators

  • MTN Ghana (Significant Market Power – SMP)
    15% price increase on all current data bundle packages.
  • Restoration of the GH₵399 bundle, now offering 214GB of data. Previously reduced to a GH₵350 bundle for 92.88GB.
  • AT Ghana (AirtelTigo)
    10% price hike across all data packages.
  • GH₵400 bundle now increased from 195GB to 236GB of data.
  • Telecel Ghana
    10% price increase on all existing data plans.
  • GH₵400 bundle revised from 90GB to 250GB of data.

These adjustments are part of the government’s broader strategy to provide high-value data packages while ensuring fair pricing and service quality in Ghana’s telecommunications sector.

Implementation date & monitoring by NCA

The new data bundle tariffs will take effect on July 1, 2025. The National Communications Authority (NCA) has been tasked with enforcing compliance and conducting quarterly billing integrity tests to ensure fairness and accuracy. The minister emphasised that failure to comply will result in strict sanctions.

According to Sam George, the NCA’s latest audit in Q3 2024 found:

  • All mobile data bundles purchased were correctly credited.
  • Non-expiry bundles retained their data throughout the validity period.
  • Unused data was properly rolled over upon renewal.
  • Quarterly audits beginning Q3 2025 will also include tests on popular apps and websites to monitor data billing practices.

Plans to reduce mobile data costs in Ghana

In a bid to lower mobile data prices in Ghana long-term, the Ministry is working with the Ministry of Finance to rationalise telecom taxes, currently accounting for nearly 39% of data pricing.

Additionally, discussions are underway with the Ministry of Energy and the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission to introduce a dedicated telecom tariff, similar to the mining sector, to reduce operational costs for service providers.
