🚨 BREAKING NEWS: NCA Approves New Telecom Tariff Adjustment as Phone and Internet Costs Rise
South Sudanese subscribers will pay more for voice calls and internet services starting Friday, June 26, after the National Communication Authority (NCA) approved a phased telecommunications tariff adjustment.
The NCA said the move is necessary to sustain network operations amid rising inflation, the depreciation of the South Sudanese Pound, and the high cost of acquiring foreign currency needed for network equipment, software licenses, and maintenance.
According to the authority, the adjustment is intended to help mobile operators maintain services and prevent network shutdowns, especially in remote areas. The NCA also pledged to closely monitor the implementation and review the measures as economic conditions evolve.
