9 years after the liberasation of the mobile phone indurstry we are still paying 8-20 bob per minute while the average in asian countries is 1bob.impotent Zain failed to save us but now we have the saviors in Orange and YU at 1bob and 50cts pm and yet we dont want to let go of this monster thats eating into our meagre resources called safaricon. A 250 bob card cant even last a day is anyone seething with anger like me. Lets start from family level everyone buy a YU or O range phone and keep the green card for Mpesa only then lets c how they make the 17billion as kenyans starve to death. i HAVE ONE YU LINE NOW

It is not all about the cost,you see the marketing geniuses at safaricom have made it more than a mobile services provider,they have made it a lifestyle kenyans can't do without!

Mpesa,bonga points,please call me,3G,okoa jahazi,etc etc. Nobody has been able to compete with that so far...

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

some people are ignorant,others loyal,patriotic or sufficiently philanthropic. I used to call my lady every every evening,zain to zain @3bob. Everytime i would spend between 140/ - 180/. After two weeks i surrendered,and bought her a simple phone worth ksh 1500/ hooked up with a yu line. I hardly spend 50/ on yu to yu on any evening. Those who want to continue paying through the nose to safaricom,its their choice. I NEVER make any safaricom to safaricom calls. I only use it for mpesa. If i need to call someone on safaricom,i use my yu line and the conversation is usually very brief

The safari con network is weak in my rural home. I could hardly communicate with my mum so i hooked her on yu. For 20 bob a day i can afford to catch up on the village gossip not to mention the very good reception.

7.50/min to any network,7.50/min on yu to yu for two minutes (cumulative),then 0.50cents/min from 61st sec till 12am

The only way to beat safcon is to match their innovation in products and services,not irrational tariffs. Zain learnt this the hard way...
