@mukiha - there are actually 3.5 million internet users - out of which abt 1.6 million use mobile data (handsets,USB modems,etc) - so yes,the ground is very,very fertile. And,you rightly say the bulk of the users are through cybers and corporate connections...but when people go back home,they have no internet - thats the frontier the battle will be waged. AK are unlikely to hack it with their 'internet@home' which costs way too much anyway vis a vis the USB's by Orange,Green and Zain. If you were to look at individual connections (excluding the mobile 1.6 million,users) i.e. when you count a cyber as ONE connection (with between 50-250 yahoo/gmail users per day),Barclays as ONE connection (with abt 1000 users),etc total connections (not users) are less than...100,000



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

@Kangi:
For clarity,I'll match the jumbled up products at Telkom-Orange with their base Technologies.

Telkom wireless /Orange Fixed Plus/ 3G+/EvDO ->CDMA
Orange/Internet everywhere ->GSM
ADSL/Orange Nyumbani/Livebox/Dialup/Jambo/9555 ->Fixed Line

For your case,having used your phone on Safcom network,it is definately a GSM handset. I guess you want to use the Orange service (as per my classification above).

You need to activate data bundles for use. Sadly,this info is not with the poor guys at CusCare. Before I delve into other possible restrictions try the following:

1. Access the data menu #123#,click on call.
2. Listen for & choose the appropriate sub-menu ( Not sure if it's 4 )
3. Choose the bundle to purchase.

You should be access the internet after this. Let's know the results.


I came,I saw and was overcharged.
