...but the problem is that I have nothing to say...

I wish they would work on the internet to broadband and stop this crazy marketing gimmick that will not work unless the calls are to safaricom i dont see how they will gain on this and wonder what the excitement is all about.

sticking to the topic at hand,most people use Zain lines to make voice calls.good offer to top the gold card benefits especially going into the holiday season...hats off.

@chris79 - the delayed launch of 3G does not necessarily mean they are lagging behind. With Safaricom it was perhaps 'ego driven' to be 'the first' with 3G in a market where less than 2% of total subscriber can afford a 3G handset. Remember Maria Antionette said 'the people want bread,not cakes' - the Kenyan subscriber basically needs good coverage and of good quality for voice. Data is growing exponentially but right now most people are happy with GPRS and EDGE - 3G is dependent on handsets - handsets which are really out of reach for most Kenyans....

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@Djinn

v You are missing the point sir

v For a mobile telephony provider to go 3G,you must pay CCK 2 billion

v Yes,2 billion

v Djinn,am serious,oops!,am actually saying

v Zain were not willing or could not afford to pay 2 billion in order to activate their 3G capability

v Sawa papa?

v 'But you must remember that I didn’t set up to dominate,It’s unfair to criticize me for doing my job well' Michael Joseph on the monopolistic status of Safaricom which now controls over 79% of the mobile business market although they expected to lose market to Yu,Orange and Zain to settle at around 65 to 70%.

The 2 billion fee to CCK is a massive rip-off and a barrier to better mobile telephony in the country.

They must be experiencing losses or cutting down. By the way word of advice,if you are on the bob forever tariff,don't make a mistake of 'trying' the Niaje Tariff. Once you migrate,there is no option of migrating back and all the new lines are on Niaje. The only solution for that is to buy a Telkom Wireless line....I guess the 1bob Forever thing is a flop to them ...

waste of time. tried to load some numbers on it and it could not because those numbers are already on vuka plus. so i have to unsubscribe them from vuka plus ( i cannot even recollect the process to subscribe or unsubscribe) before i can move them to free calls for 7 days. it happens that the numbers that you would want to call for free are already on vuka plus. rather pay kes 3 per minute than to go through all that hassle. probable a ruse to get guys out of vuka plus.

again,waste of time.

This is just one more of the gimmicks that Zain has been trying unsuccesfully for a while. In the interest of competition,I would like to cheer them on though. As one of the peculiar Kenyans with active lines from all the providers (including a land line),I find that the Zain line is the one I use least. Their special offers all come with terms and conditions that make it really hard to utilise - consequently it is the one line on which I have airtime given that I hardly ever use it. Most of us have also not forgiven them for shortchanging us on Vuka Kshs 8 calls to other networks and the Ksh 65 all day calls. Talk of consistently being inconsistent!

As for 3G,Zain is only promising to launch this if and when CCK reduces the licence fee from US$ 25 million,which is by no means assured. However,even if that happens it may indeed be a little late. First mover advantage in our market has proved to be fairly insurmountable. Well,although thinking about it it is not so different in other regions. As an illustration - when was the last time you tried to use BING as opposed to Googling something?


Opportunity calls but few respond.

This is the best promotion EVER! The terms and conditions are too easy to fulfil,simply top up with your preferred amount once every seven days and talk talk talk. Another service provider should try beat this
