@Elder,

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

That *544# is for Safaricom when you want to check the balance using your mobile phone. It also has some other stuff on Safcom internet.

Actually, I don't know how to check Airtel bundle balance. I asked them on Twitter and they said they are working on it, so maybe they don't have. I guess you can monitor your MBs (received and sent) to see how you are doing.

You may also opt to be like some of us and get the unlimited bundle (750/week, 3000/month)

*544# is how you check the bundle balance on Airtel. Do not know how it is that the customer support do not know.

1. Remove the Airtel sim card from the modem, and put it in a phone.
2. Enter *544# A USSD menu will show. The first option is check balance.
3. After selecting the first option, you will receive an sms with your bundle balance.

That's the Airtel USSD, also *111# works too but *544# is a shortcut.

to make a like for like comparison you first need to split between consumer and business. e.g. KDN does NOT do consumer - they may do very large accounts like banks, etc and 90% of their business is backhauling for other providers like scom, airtel, access, etc (they are a carrier of carriers - and infrastructure provider). So no wonder no one is voting for them.

Not sure why Orange is not included. But as said, if you have one poll for consumer and one for business, you will see a major difference.
