With orders coming from Kibaki that unregistered lines be shut down, Bob's intentions to raise call charges, acquiring 4G and going ex dividend is showing now. I expect the share to start trading at 3 bob and end the day at 2.50. High oil prices are also affecting the Mobile fon provider.

Start trolling and you will hit it back.

ever heard of the ten percent rule? 3.00-2.5= 0.5. 0.5/3.0= 16%. Hence it cant trade at 2.50 by the end of today.

1. Raising calls charges will increase revenue from calls , which is the highest revenue source. I doubt they will lose a significant number of clients due to this, is the undying safcom affiliation of the kenyan people is anything to go by.

2. Acquiring 4G is a bad thing, how? More data, more speed, more clients......

3. The unregistered clients will not stay for long without a phone, guess which mobile phone provider they'll choose when they buy a new phone.

Infact, things are looking brighter for safaricom THE COMPANY. The share going lower is opportunity to get in.

What you are forgetting is that safaricom has already been labeled an exploiter now tell me if they increase their rates and then continue announcing those super-normal profit how will its customer base react.

Airtel has already won the hearts of the majority of kenyans...Equity is already encroaching on Mpesa with its agency banking safaricom will be left with its data that already is under price war with telcom.

My take is that bob should be very careful how he goes protecting its bottom line I foresee a kencel kind of an ending for safaricom.

Going back to my litter box research today I saw alot of Airtel 100/= scratch cards....Is this the warning sign....

Thanks for correcting me. However, I did not say 4G is a bad thing. I said now showing.

When does it apply, and when does it not apply?

Dont hold your breath, expecting kenyans to switch away from safcom because it is more expensive. Kenyans are weird me included. Safcom has, and still is the most expensive.

Yu has free calls 6am-6pm, for crying out loud

Airtel(which i use) has calls at 1 bob, through out. club 10. Sending money with aitel is free!!!! airtel got some movement when they lowered prices, but that fizzled and we are back to where we are.

Orange has good offers as well (but their internet is crap, OMG-dont get me started on their internet). I woulndt know about their offers though coz i dont care.

Btw are there any safcom offers i dont know about? I called for over ten minutes jana, and spend less than 10 bob????

So far so good this share is no where near the top loser today.

True.

Wazua is full of pessimist losers! Most of these characters don't own anything at the NSE. They are always in all threads discouraging INVESTORS with their EVER pessimistic ideological stupidity!

If you are not receiving a beating at the NSE now, then you don't have any business commenting since you are not an investor!

Safaricom has a 1/- deal from 10pm to 10am or so I think. I use it for data but for voice calls I prefer Airtel with 3/- to any network, any time.

Oh, & 1/- from 6am - 6pm On-Net when I actually need it for kazi!
