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

@akowally,orange has been so quite. No offers,no promotions. They also rarely advertise on tv

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 ...

@djinn,it's a given fact that revenues from voice are on the decline that data is the next big thing in telecommunications. Given that the Oranges and the safcoms of this world had the foresight to invest heavily in data while Zain tried- unsuccessfully- to tilt the market share for voice in it's favor,I think Zain is still at a distinct disadvantage compared to it's nearest competitors. From other posts in this site,it seems Zain is doing rather poorly even with the 'bread' of EDGE/GPRS. By the time they wake up from their slumber and go 3G,the competition will have locked in major accounts in contracts and will have recouped their investments. Hence they'll be able to offer the same service at a lower cost leaving Zain scrambling for crumbs yet again...

Be the change you want to see in the world...

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 and Orange's Niaje are same script different cast .... Niaje was to kick out Bob Forever Tariff .... and this zain thing is to kick out Vuka+

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
