Tnm speaks on ‘flying bundles’

Mobile network provider has responded to growing concerns over the rapid depletion of mobile data bundles, saying it is aware of complaints raised by some customers.

In a statement issued today on October 1, 2026, TNM said it is committed to transparency and ensuring customers receive the full value of the bundles they purchase.

The mobile network operator has also cited high-quality video streaming, automatic app updates, background activities, hotspot sharing and video auto-play on social media as some of the factors that can increase data consumption.

Meanwhile, the development comes two days after the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) launched an investigation into concerns surrounding the depletion of mobile data bundles on TNM and Airtel Malawi networks.
