Remember that 14M out of their subscribers are mpesa users, so they have a copy of all their IDs. They know age, sex, tribe so with a little effort they can send SMS's by these structures, and ensure that @254.co.ke's old man is kept out of the loop. Sure enough. We thought exactly that. But clearly didn't take the trouble. Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.

We guessed that maybe they do and they have profiled their customers somehow to know who would be tickled by such a message. Clearly we were wrong. They really should know better next time. Shame on them! That being said, I honestly see no problem with the 5 bob part. What irks me is to think that exactly the same intimately suggestive message that was sent to teenagers, is the same one that was sent to their parents, their grandparents, their teachers, their pastors... Aii? That was dumb. So they shouldnt have sent the sms and only left it at the print advert level or what???? Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

Now that i havent made any profit from this thing called Safaricom, im contemplating suing them for such demeaning and inflammatory message!!! They can always argue it was a typo.It was meant to be ,"Katia her keki na 5 bob".And Lenaola will concur Katia her Keki???..........Gutheka Nginya Nd<<<>>>, but seriously the meesage was so grossly insensitive.Imagine my old man giving the me the cell, so that i do the translatation! LOL, wonder how the translation went. I'm sure you sneaked in amendments like our Government Printer.

How many mamaz are those for the weakend?....Auuuuiiii!! QW25091985 wrote: i think the marketing department failed miserably ..i mean they failed in the wording COMPLETELY ! Maybe they should have said " Show some love for only 5 bob " ,or something like that ! Thats just as far as the eye can see but what exactly is going on underneath this sales gimmick? Lets go back a little while ago when Bob was talking about his strategies on how he is going to return safcom to its large profits. (article in buisness daily) Restructuring was the first thing he did. Now he is using bad news to make better revenues, isnt it alittle too obvious that bad news sells big. I mean who would bother to talk about sms costing 5/=. Thats old stale vybe. He needs a good host to propagate the same "stale vybe" to the masses and that host has to be sth that sells really well. That something is bad news I must say its working pretty well. How many people are going to know about this? Its all about making those numbers at the end of the day.
