#DidYouKnow that Zimbabwe holds the title of having one of the most expensive mobile internet data in the world as of 2024, with an average cost of $43.75 per 1GB, according to Statista? This makes Zimbabwe the most expensive country globally for mobile data. Several factors contribute to these high costs, including the country’s large geographic area and relatively small population, which require a vast and expensive fiber network.
Compared to neighboring countries, Zimbabwe’s data costs are significantly higher. Countries like South Africa and Malawi offer much more affordable options. In fact, Malawi has one of the lowest average prices in Africa, with 1GB of mobile data costing $0.38. This stark contrast highlights the disparity in data pricing across the continent.
The high cost of mobile data in Zimbabwe is also notable when compared to other African countries. South Sudan and the Central African Republic are among the countries with the highest prices for data globally. Zimbabwe’s mobile internet data prices pose significant challenges related to digital access and connectivity in the country.
