you may be right...they are not all clean but the level of cleanliness differs from one moboservice provider to the next.

you know what i have an airtel line, but in another handset...

two weeks ago they were running a promotion service where when you spend kshs 75 on voice calls you were rewarded five times, that is you got kshs 375 bonus airtime...

i was out of town and was having the "airtel phone"...i called alot and at around 7:00 pm in the evening i had used about kshs 90...

i was awarded the bonus but alas it was only valid for airtel-airtel calls...that was okey and manageable...the shocking bit was that it was only valid upto midnight!!! i have only three friends in airtel and i had 5 hours to talk to them about nothing!!

a bloody bure kabisa offer!!!...but at least not conned.

Put your bonus to good use from 10pm to 8 am which will be valid for an entire week.

hi guys

The day before yesterday armed with a full, clean thou, i set out to hunt for the fat, juicy 1.5 gig plus 0.5 gig bonus.

sure enough i charged my mulika mwizi phone account which read a balance of kshs 1082.10 and i knew that the gigs were an arms stretch...the mulika mwizi is ofcourse the hardy monochromatic type not suited for internet browsing and as such i could not use it..

i therefore took out the sim card from the phone, inserted it into a safaricom modem and voila!...when i reached the safaricom home page 1/2 a minute later i closed the internet service, took out the sim from the modem, reinserted it back to the phone and went to sleep.

yesterday early in the morning at around 7:00am, i checked the balance in readiness to buy the 1.5 gig plus the kid bonus but alas it read kshs 943.42. this was kshs 140 less than the balance in the previous evening...i did not want to believe that safaricon had charged me at a rate of ksh 280 per minute!! i thought to myself that may be the 140 was the minimum amount that was levied upon just opening the browser which is normal. At this juncture i purchased 80mb data bundle at kshs 100. i knew i had a balance worth kshs 843.42 left and all that i needed was kshs 160 to get the 2.25gig which i were to acquire later in the day!!

i took out the sim from the mm and inserted it into the modem, opened my laptop and plugged the modem and started browsing till the bundle got exhausted at around 9:00am..took out the sim and put it back into the mulika mwizi.

all that time from when i recharged the kamm i had made no voice calls for obvious reason...2.25gig!!! i decided to confirm the balance once again at around 12:00 noon after buying the kshs 200 recharge...i could not believe what i saw on the screen! i put the phone down went to the tap and washed my eyes again, went back, took the mm and requested for the balance once more...avando zi!!! ati kshs 271.33 was the bal..yaani i was kshs 572 down!!!

i called safaricon and that kubafu digital lady's voice from the amg circuitry told me that i will be charged ksh 10 for the service...i went kshs 10 further down and went mad!!!

i reached the customer care and a "real" gentleman picked the phone and i explained to him the situation...my friends, that guy hit me with a bucket full of shit..the answer that i got from him was the conman type and the most interesting...ati i did not close the browser when i was through with the browsing and therefore that is why the money was being spent, and he went further to give a friendly advise or instructions on how to close the browser!!! ngai baba!!when i recovered from the shock of the answer that i got from him, i asked the safaricon idiot on the other end how it is possible for the internet to run when one has disconnected the power and removed the sim card from the modem (when the data transmission is completely disabled)!!!

the vagabond gave me the same answer and went further to tell me that infact as we were talking the internet was still running and i was still being charged...jesus christ!!! i think i was talking to a guy who has never been to school!!! my question to him was how it was possible for safaricon to register an internet service provision or any other service in their server, when the sim card has been removed from the modem or the phone!!! the idiot just told me that he would consult i dont know who to explain...i hung up before he finished preaching his summon as i went completely berserk...

kenya post and telecommunication corporation is back where one could be hit with bills showing telephone services 10 years after the phone disconnection!!!

i am hamaing completely leaving nothing behind including the cockroaches and without looking back...ata hiyo empesa wacha ikae!!!...my safaricon sim, i am physically breaking it into two after spending the kshs 261 left, and call-me-more can have it and stick it in his bloody big fat A#*<>le!!!NKT!!!

@ essyk...

when looking at all the illnesses and sleeplessnesses that kaigangio has committed let us just analyse the extract below...

can,t you see some conmanship if not incompetence here???

@Gizzard, I've been using orange's 1 month unlimited bundle for the last three months. So far nothing to complain about. But i've only used it in Nairobi, I don't know whether it works well in other regions. So if you're a guy of trotting the country i'd not be in a position to advice.

Otherwise, tone down on the curses bana.. Hama silently... Kiungwana..

Now u.Stop dealing with those kids on customer care lines.They always sound worse than std 5 kids.I asked one to give me a sec to get my pen but he disconnected telling me to call later instead when I am ready with pen. Customer care!!
Clueless and vain.Infact they will waste your credit telling you rubbish.

Andika email.I don't know but once you have a ref.no and booked it's attended to faster.
That is the way I go.

Its Monday ngai! get them off your back!
Just chill.
