so,that means,this thing was really in effect for just abt 10 days - time enough to make people believe it works...I think this is a serious consumer rights issue - SCOM may fall back on the fact that prepaid customers are not bound to them by any contract,ergo,they are no obligated to offer certain rates at certain times - indeed I recall in its early days,when there was a MAJOR outage,abt 35-50 subscribers attempted to sue them but it went belly up owing to their prepaid status.

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

@VVS - I had an inkling after some recent talks on fuel prices. Still,we should not take it lying down.

.......my phone cell broadcast and *155# are all indicating a rate 8 bob as I type this post.

If the pricing is based on traffic as Safcon preaches,does this mean that the nearest base station is jammed with calls at 22.58? I highly doubt it.

This tariff is a hoax.

@chris79 - hmmm....at that hour you must be competing for base station bandwidth with a few burglars is it possible to share details of a more 'normal' hour. I guess at 3am they could even allow free calls since 95% of the network is asleep.

@djinn,from your previous posts you've never bothered to hide your distaste for Safaricom and I believe that was the reason you posted this topic; to get as many people as possible to post anti-safcom messages. You must be really enjoying yourself now. However by your latest post you've just confirmed that supa ongea works,since I'm sharing the BTS with 'a few burglars' I'm able to call at 80cts which is the whole point of this tariff; the lower the traffic,the lower the rates. I agree with you that's its ridiculous to have to wait until 3am to be able to call at 80cts but what else do you expect given that i live in eastlands where people never sleep. As long as I know i'm not charged anything above 8 bob I'm cool with that. I travelled once to Kisumu and was able to call for 3 bob during the daytime. And no,I don't work for Safaricom...

Be the change you want to see in the world...
