Find it hard to believe that one would port from Safaricom to Airtel knowing very well that they forfeit their Mpesa account with that. Then again for all we know Airtel may be targeting Yu and Orange users and not Safaricom.

Personally think that Airtel ought to focus more on ZAP and 3G and less on this kuHAMA stuff.

.. pesky double post,,,

I heard the CEO say they were getting more than 1000 porting request a day but many of them would come back asking them to reverse it due to frustrations caused by safaricom.In that safaricom fails to lock out their ported customers from their system as written in their agreement.

I think safaricom is playing dirty to frustrate this kuhama business and it should trend carefully not to be labelled as a bully hence helping Airtel get sympathy porting/subscription.

I think this MNP is good in that it keeps dominant players on their toes hence enhancing the quality of their networks,therefore if this exercise is frustrated and Airtel looses this fight we will be in trouble.As a die hard safaricom subscriber I wish many pple port so that Airtel can remain afloat.

So I'm listening to this lady Mwende on CapitalFM from CCK about porting. My take:

*Safaricom is not keen to help people port. If you say you want to port and you get lost in space it's your problem

*Airtel are never very straightforward in their communication. They make everything look like chap-chap. Then you realise your number is off-air for 48 hrs then they blame others.

*CCK can only rely on operators who are more tech, more efficient, more budget. So they only intervene with a commission of inquiry when you are floating in space.


It would be fool-hardy to be the guineua pig. All sense dictates you wait just a little bit. And Mwenda doesn't want to commit on the numbers, and says the success on portability is not the numbers but blah blha...

Agree with @Elder, where's Airtel's 3G? More would hama then.
