@kadonye, i don't see bride for safcom either

A line is 20/- so you just maintain a safcom line where everyone can reach you, and another one to call with depending on the fad of the day. Could be yu, orange, zain. When it's out of fashion just dump and get another 20/- sim

@Kenmac;

You still want to pay 8 bob per minute. Kenyans are strange people, they complain services are expensive, when they are given a cheaper alternative, they start analyzing it and lecturing us on the economics of the whole thing. Who cares how they make their money as long as they give us quality services.

We can still develop more products and still pay 3 bob per minute. If we do not support Zain in their new move, we will remain in SafCON caves forever, get out and do something, kwani MPESA is a matter of life and death and even if it was we will die one day anyway. Learn to live one day at a time coz you do not know about tomorrow.

and YU is following suit by midday today . . . . .wah wah lets go the indian way . . . .kalls .@ 2cents a minute. Ni time yetu.

3/= to ANY network. That's 10 nil!!! What YU and Orange had done is keep call charges within the network low but calls to other networks [read Safcom] were still high. When 90%+ of the people you call are on Safcom, such offers did not make much sense. But if now you can all those 90%+ [And all the rest] at 3/=, what other incentive do you need? These is what we call in chess, check [almost check mate!]. Safcom have only one move left. Lower Safcom - Safcom calls to <= 2/=. Otherwise it's game over. Safcom lines will be "receiving" lines. Almost all calls will originate from Zain. And when Zain gets at least 50% market share, they will increase the charges to "other networks" and probably lower Zain - Zain call charges even further. And as they say, "Game short"!. Safcon have a two week period to react. If they don't, it might be the end of Safcon as we know it. You can quote me on this!
