Have you tried to make a call on Viber? Now try WhatsApp. And people are already on WhatsApp. No installation, configuration, marketing etc. required. I am a Safaricom shareholder. I am also a realist. No emotions or unfounded hope! Voice income will take a hit! Safcom have known this for years. Hopefully their other income streams will cushion the company. I've heard of viber before, never used it But with whatsapp launching call service, and most guys are already on it, I see a challenge for telcos They may not die as @nakujua was suggesting in another thread. But the good times might come to an end

So far it's only been launched on Android, ios and windows still work in progress!!! So far you can only call an updated Android Whatsapp user, a drawback!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Majority of phone users are on Android. ios and Windows should be sorted some time this month. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

In Kenya I think the majority are still on dumb phones, it will take time before the hit on Safcom is that big!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

But the good times might come to an end It will happens gradually, of course pegged on data availability. Give the dumb phones 5 years and finding one will be like trying to get the nokia 3310 now. The thing that might pull more people into services like whatsup is the multiple channels available, voice, text, sending images, sending videos and of course it will not be pegged to a single telco. Even our mp's are using it ...

Whatsapp is big even in Kenya. We use it a lot where I work..
I got a whatsapp call today and was impressed by the voice clarity, I could hear the voice like the person was face to face.. watch this space..

I agree, with time this will be a game changer, for a starter next time I go home I will carry at least 10 cheap android phones with the whatsapp functionality for my folks!!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
