The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (Cran) has announced new tariff approvals for major telecommunications providers in a government gazette issued on 28 November 2025.
The updates include changes to data and voice plans, fibre products, satellite services and spectrum applications for both business and individual customers.
Mobile Telecommunications Limited has revised its Postpaid Mobiz Sky Voice Plans.
The plans now offer data bundles from 10GB to 75GB, voice allocations between 300 minutes and 3 500 minutes and SMS bundles ranging from 200 to 3 000 messages. Prices range from N$199 to N$1 499 based on contract periods of 12 to 48 months.
Higher-tier plans include international and roaming wallets.
“Our goal is to provide more value and flexibility to our customers across all business sectors,” said Emilia Nghikembua, the chief executive officer of Cran.
The communications regulator approved IT Guru Solutions’ GigaNet fibre products with speeds from 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
Monthly charges range from N$550 to N$1 600 on 36-month contracts. Existing clients will be upgraded to higher speeds, and a ten percent discount is available in November and December.
Mobile Telecommunications Limited’s (MTC) giga data bundles came into effect on 20 November 2025.
The bundles range from 1.5GB at N$25 to 50GB at N$699 and include promotional bonus data.
“Customers can now enjoy greater data flexibility while staying connected for longer periods,” Nghikembua added.
Paratus Telecommunication Namibia has received approval for its Yursat Adapt packages.
These plans offer download speeds from 10 Mbps to 20 Mbps and monthly data thresholds between 150 GB and 350 GB.
Monthly charges range from N$1 550 to N$3 350. Blue Telecommunications’ AirFibre Rural and Urban plans, as well as its FFTX products, were also approved.
Speeds range from 10 Mbps to 50 Mbps, and prices range from N$770 to N$3 080 depending on coverage and plan.
Cran noted that Starlink Internet Services Namibia has applied for a Class Comprehensive Telecommunications Service Licence to provide low earth orbit satellite broadband in Namibia.
The company has also applied for a spectrum use licence for the 10.7 to 14.7 GHz band. The public may submit comments within fourteen days.
Telecom Namibia’s tariff rebalancing has been approved. The adjustments affect Speedlink, line rentals, installation fees and fixed-to-mobile and international call rates. Residential and business customers will see an increase in installation fees, line rentals and some service charges.
“These changes are aimed at maintaining service quality while keeping tariffs competitive and fair for all customers,” Nghikembua said.
Namibia’s telecommunications sector has transformed over the past decade as demand for data and broadband continues to rise.
Reports by the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia show that data services now account for most mobile service revenue, overtaking voice and SMS.
In 2023, data revenue made up about seventy percent of total mobile service income, up from forty 6% in 2018.
