Econet Adds USSD Option to Simplify SmartBiz Payments

Econet has just made it easier than ever to renew your SmartBiz data bundle subscription. The leading mobile network operator has introduced a quick and hassle-free way for you to pay directly from your phone using a brand-new USSD code. Say goodbye to to waiting in line at Econet shops . Now, with just a few taps, you can stay connected

 

No More Waiting in Line

 

One of the biggest complaints about SmartBiz has always been the need to visit an Econet outlet to renew your package. With long lines at their busy locations, it wasn’t the most convenient experience. But with the launch of this new USSD payment option, that’s a thing of the past. Now, from anywhere, at any time, you can top up your SmartBiz package and get back to what matters most.

 

How to Pay for SmartBiz Using USSD

 

Here’s how it works, it’s incredibly easy:

 

  1. Dial *543# on your phone.
  2. Select “SmartBiz Subscription” from the menu.
  3. Pick the SmartBiz package you want.
  4. Enter the SmartBiz number you’re renewing.
  5. Confirm the payment, and you’re done!

 

What’s even better? You don’t have to use the SmartBiz line itself to make the payment! Any Econet number can pay for a SmartBiz subscription on another line, making it super convenient for businesses managing multiple accounts.

 

SmartBiz Packages Available via USSD

 

When you dial *543#, you can choose from the following SmartBiz bundles:

 

  • SmartBiz 5 – USD45 (up to 5 Mbps)
  • SmartBiz 10 – USD87 (up to 10 Mbps)
  • SmartBiz 20 – USD167 (up to 20 Mbps)
  • SmartBiz 50 – USD417 (up to 50 Mbps)

 

These packages offer various speeds tailored to your business needs, and now, with the new USSD code, purchasing them has never been simpler!

 

What’s New with SmartBiz?

 

This new payment option follows a series of exciting changes to Econet’s SmartBiz service. Just last month, Econet slashed the prices on SmartBiz bundles, making it one of the most competitive internet options in Zimbabwe.

 

However, things got even more interesting when Starlink entered the Zimbabwean market, heating up competition between ISPs. In response, Econet recently adjusted the speeds of their SmartBiz packages to reflect the advertised rates. Previously, some users reported experiencing much faster speeds than promised—sometimes as high as 100 Mbps—but now, speeds are capped at the official package rate.

 

While this might be a bummer for those who enjoyed those lightning-fast speeds, the consistency ensures you’re getting exactly what you pay for. For instance, the SmartBiz 5 package now consistently delivers speeds around 5 Mbps as advertised.

 

With these updates, SmartBiz remains a powerful option for businesses looking for reliable internet in Zimbabwe, and with the added convenience of USSD payments, it’s easier than ever to stay connected
