and why pray should they constantly remind me how cheap it is to use the network every time I send a text msg? very irritating, given that am already their customer.....

That thing is very irritating. Anyone knows how to disable it?


Kizuri cha jiuza kibaya cha jitembeza..... cheap comes with irritations..who else will they tell other than you for loading credit, cutting costs on advert expecting you to spread the good word thats the reason they keep reminding you.

Remember the famous advert pika kwa k... was repeated in the same advert how many times... cholestrol tupu....

whats up with Airtel of late - network is always busy, calls get dropped, clarity is rubbish. especially in the westlands and town area. is anyone experiencing the same. is this what happens when Indians take over Companies?


Im facing the same problem and im currently in south C.. its disastrous because I cant hold any calls..


Guru when you speak we listen..... but on this one please listen you will miss important calls which are not worth the free calling or purported savings...

South C is close to their offices and that area has lots of thier BTSs.... that could be an issue with indoor coverage/new building came-up blocking the site or frequency interference... or worse removal of sites for installation elsewhere no money for new sites.....call Spanco sorry call customer care....

Stop complaining. You want German goods at Chinese/Indian pricing?

You want a BMW but want to pay for a Tata/Foton?

I use Airtel. Happy to do so. Better than Orange yet I pay 3/- across ALL networks. My choice. Though its the international calling that won me over. 3/- to UK/USA (& cheaper calls to EAC countries) vs Safaricom.

I think Airtel is testing new 3G sites (no idea if it hurts quality). I use Safaricom for data, much better than the rest, but I will give Airtel a trial run if pricing is right.

ITU Standard Telcom-operations, tests are not carried on live traffic..... they have either installed it already and its having teething issues and someone cant make a decision to roll back which means they fire fight or they have real network issues at certain BSCs around Westlands and South C.

Use Skype you will save even more, plus you will have a choice of video, sound and video quality is very good at a fraction of a price or rather at the data rates costs.

the targtet markets for YU, AIRTEL, ORANGE AND SAFare quite different.YU must be targeting the target market of people under the age of 25 years (with lots of lurvy durvy stories to gossip about). Airtel is for the price sensitive market, trying to take the entire using pricing as the only driver of competition. Safaricom is still buoyed by its first generation of subscribers who bought phones while they were status symbols. Its quality products and innovativeness have secured its market and is capable of exercising monopolistic behaviour coz of its superior marketing mix. Orange, except for its data is quite undecided what it wants to do.

And now their Blackberry service has been off the whole day and they have no clue what's up. ABK!
