Hi,

Anyone got info on if one can send and receive payments when outside the country. Do not need to withdraw, just send and receive.

I know it works in UG, what about other countries?

It works. I've used it from Europe to send, receive, and to top up any Safcon number.

If I'm not wrong, you can send and receive anywhere your Safaricom line has roaming. The only thing you can't do is deposit and withdraw though I've been able to do this in UG.

It's because there are no Mpesa agents in those countries...

How does it work? Do the customers go to some specific bank?

Its actually very useful... probably one of the best thing since sliced bread.
I use it while in UK to send/pay people, as well as receive/get paid... in Kenya.
I have never needed to set my phone on roaming (unless it happens automatically).
I have never needed to withdraw cash (ksh? -imagine that!) while in UK.
I always thought transactions or those safcom messages were charged, but never been charged.
