Package Connection

When you subscribe to a package, the subscription fee will be charged for the remaining days of the month and the free minutes / SMS bundled in the package, will be prorated accordingly.
For each new connection, the first bill will include the prorated subscription fee for the current month, as well as the normal one month’s advance fee. Please note that under all scenarios, prorating would be applied in the same way for both voice and SMS.

E.g. 1

If you subscribe to the Platinum package on 20th July, the July subscription fee will only be charged for the remaining days of the month, i.e. [no. of days from July 20th to 31] x [Platinum subscription fee /31] Free minutes / SMS bundled in the package, will also be calculated on the same basis.

Package Disconnection

When you disconnect your package, a refund will be made on your subscription charge, for the fee already charged for the period following disconnection.

E.g. 1

If you disconnect your package on 10th Feb, your subscription for Feb will be refunded for all remaining days of that month, starting from the date of disconnection. You will also get the full refund of the advance monthly subscription fee (i.e. the subscription fee for March).

Temporary suspension of service

A standard fee of Rf 115 will be charged for a period of 6 months and Rf 300 for a period of 12 months.

Packages transfers

When a customer transfers from one package to another, the subscription is pro-rated and charged. For example, if a customer transfers from Silver to Bronze on the 20th of July, he would be charged [no. of days from July 1st to July 20th ] x [Silver subscription/31]. For the days after 20th, he would be charged [no. of days from 21st to 31st July] x [Bronze subscription fee / 31].

The customer can change from one package to another only once during each billing month. Customers can also move back to basic service without any charge.  

Package ownership change

The standard ownership change fee of Rf 100 will be charged to the new owner.

Package disconnection

A customer may disconnect a package at anytime after one month from the date of subscription.
