Tried calling on Safaricom lately, the calls are dropped, barely a word is audible, it beats the point of having a mobile phone if one has to get out of the house or office to go looking for "Network".

Kenyans are very averse to change. Even if YU charged 2 bob per minute across all networks countrywide..... bado watu watabaki Safcon

@McReggae I'm with you. Maybe it's just human psychology. I ascribe to Safaricom for personal reasons but I've to admit this post is very genuine.

Don't know whether these call drops are being caused when phone switches from 3G to 2G but I must call every number twice to get through or twice to conclude a disconnected call. Eiishhh!

True. Even there once reliable 3G internet service is no longer the same. Reception is deterirating by the day. A case of marketing outdoing the technical department. At some point customers will start moving

@ anasazi

Similar things have been discussed many times on this forum...when one thing is bad you don't just move to the next...you also make enough noise so that change can be made where there is wrong...safcom has a myriad of great things and a myriad of issues...so guys will make noise until changes are seen...many of us will still move to yu and zain and the new one that's coming..but if they have issues we'll say it as it is...

>> Saf seems unsacred by these complains, and maximizing returns on voice calls is no longer their priority as they concentrate on Mpesa and data returns, and the fact that they have scooped back their initial capital outlay makes them quite arrogant. Really hope that Yu overturns the tables.

True Akowally. In most of these things, esp technical stuff, everybody has issues. Zain has issues, Yu has issues, everybody has issues. So if you shift shift you discover ni mzunguko tu.

That said, bado Safcom wako na arrogance (IMHO)

@Zakumi, well said.
I think the question I and many other who are still on the network should be asking ourselves is why we are still hanging on even after being described as "having peculiar habits" by none other than MJ himself.

I actually had thought it was my phone that had a problem now that it was on its death bed... bought another cheap one (which i am still trying to learn to operate) as i shop around... been behaving the same and thought may be it's because it was a ka chingchong sister .. but at least i made sure i bought from an authorised dealer to ensure even though cheap, its not an obvious chingchong.... hasnt helped.... kumbe its this battered safaring syndrome????? na hama...

I have never and wont change my line never ever it what i rely on for bussiness contacts

I would rather complain about the service, pay more rather than lose the bussiness contacts, I have bills to pay

damn cant even change the line not even when those characters start demanding my head or the money watapiga makelele na wanyamaze dont care am not changing my line

i know there are dual phone and all that but man a guy memory can only rember so many numbers...
