The truth of the matter is that when you have a one to one issue with these guys, they act like devils advocates with evil smiles on their faces. Only use Mpesa for very small amounts, don't use their data unless its mobile or modem.

Also don't try any of their safaricom business products. Its a total rip off meant to make then billions. eg zindisha biashara, wimax internet etc.


Wish u argued with facts.
I use Zidisha and could not be happier.

one can only pick a contact from phonebook if it's saved in the SIM card n not in the phone. in case u din't know now u know


Yeah; Yeah; Yeah!!

So if the number is in the phone memory, you simply move it to the SIM and do your MPESA transaction. If your phone cannot move numbers from memory to SIM, then throw it away and buy another one - it's a liability!

I hate it when people have alternatives to MPESA and they don't want to MOVE to them but instead complain like BABIES. Why don't you just sto using MPESA if u r not satisfied. NKTEST.

FYI. I operated a KCB a/c for 3 years without an ID and photo. A day reached when i needed 140K that i could only get OTC, its when i knew the details were never uploaded on their Database.

Kwani,you cannot account if part of the money is refunded or are you making a mockery of the accountin.g profession?


The idea was to reverse the transaction. How can u reverse a transaction when the amounts involved are different?

This is painful but jst like @McReggae says write down the numbers, check and recheck before sending.


How do you write the number for instance when you are in a Bar at 3am?
Sad


If you are making payments of large amounts while drunk at 3am, then you are just simply CARELESS!!!!!!!

If you opened your bank account on those tents set on roadsides or with those bank employees hawkers who move from office to office registering new customers, chances are that the ID and photo details were not uploaded in the banks database if you never deposited any money in the next 3 months.

BTW, what is the difference between MPesa, Orange/YU/Airtel money and the bank Agents? NKTEST

Very well said. Judging from the endless grumbling here one would think safcom puts a gun to peoples' heads and forces them to use Mpesa. There are so many alternatives out there eg Airtel money, orange, Yu etc etc, you can even use the bus to send money to your folks huko shags.
So no one is forcing anyone to use Mpesa. It's a free market. Hama!
Personally am very happy with Mpesa.

Kweli there was a meeting at Safcom social media offices this morning?

Facts are facts. You can't bully yourself through social media and expect them to be real.

So get used to it. And yes, we are dumping safcom, yu, airtel and any other payment system that doesn't allow basic fraud checks together.

Having said that, Mpesa is a very easy product for me to use.

But I don't swallow the coolaid. It is a danger to the economy and must be regulated. If only to stop all drunkards from sending money to fraudulent safcom clients.You can add it as part of your CRM.

People! Kenya is the only nation that has guys complaining when they are completely satisfied. It's simple you take alternative action when you feel short changed otherwise you are satisfied.

Very wrong. The customer is always right and we the happy customers have a right to air our very positive views/experiences regarding Mpesa.

The problem with some people is that they never want to take full responsibility for their mistakes.
