For the last few months we've been seeing promotional rates from both mobile operators. Calls, SMS, even data plans are going down (enjoy people).
It's just amazing how easy it is to make a call to North America, Europe, India and China for just few francs. A 30 minutes call to these 3 different continents costs 900rwf. I remember old times when 1500rwf of airtime would only last for 16 minutes dialing a local number (No need to say international calls where at outrageous prices at the time).
Ironically, making long distance calls is now much cheaper than short ones to our east African neighboring countries.
SMS for 3rwf, free calls starting from 11pm till dawn, free airtime for each received calls on MTN, bonuses on airtime loaded, packs on Tigo,... Chacun y trouve son compte.
The "diet" started when "Big Yellow" lost its monopoly to Rwandatel in 2008. The rates cut went radical with the launch of Tigo Rwanda in 2009. They are considered as the one that brought a promotion trend in the market and now MTN is following the pace, bringing exciting deals.
