Personal plans

Celtel now gives you the choice - Classic, Family, Generation-X and Freedom plans. Your lifestyle. Your preferences. Your requirements. Your choice to determine which plan best suits you.

Beyond the excellent rates, all our plans give you access to Celtel’s high quality service, our innovative products and Zambia’s widest coverage network. Plus all our plans come with Loyalty bonus air time of 8.5% of every K50,000 you spend. No wonder 9 out of 10 mobile users in Zambia are on our network. Explore below to find the plan right for you.

Classic plans

Our Classic plans come in two forms – a per second and per minute plan. On both plans you get 17% discounted rates on Friends and Family calls during peak hours and 15% on off peak calls; as well as a discounted SMS rate on messages sent to all networks.
