Ghana Ranked Among Countries With Cheapest Mobile Data In The World

Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that a new survey by a telecommunication think tank has ranked Ghana among the top 50 countries worldwide with the cheapest mobile data cost.

The study by Cable analysed 5,292 data plans from 233 countries and found that the cost of mobile data in Ghana was among the best in Sub-Saharan Africa.

"Sub-Saharan Africa has just five countries among the top 50 cheapest in the world – Ghana, in 40th place overall, is cheapest in the region at $0.61 (approximately GH¢5).
"The region also has five out of the ten most expensive countries in the world, with Saint Helena the most expensive in the world ($41.06), joined by São Tomé and Príncipe ($29.49), Botswana ($15.55), Togo ($12.94) and Seychelles ($12.66) at the bottom of the table," the survey by the UK-based company explained.
