I prefer using Airtel Money where possible coz it's cheaper BUT my choices are limited so I default to Safcom. Vindu vichangeanga   As long as it costs less/same to send money from Airtel to Safcom @vvs this is a game changer.. also look at the post paid KES 2,500 by Telkom

How is interoperability a game changer? Most merchants are on Safaricom...to even get 10% of their reach will take Telkom and Airtel years...if their system works. T Kash is brainless cloning...they should have done something different like Reliance Jio...game changing truly! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

The country’s third largest mobile service provider Telkom Kenya is banking on post-paid mobile subscribers to expand market share. The telco yesterday unveiled new post-paid offerings in the latest move likely to stoke competition and price wars in a sector that has seen intense activity in the recent past.

Take is a mistake to lend anything to Kenians. A big Mistake. Ericsson wrote:https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/article/2001277269/telkom-turns-to-post-paid-customers

They take a deposit and limit the credit amount. E.g. 1000 Karibu by Safaricom takes a deposit of KShs 1,000 and limits credit to KShs 1,500. aemathenge wrote:Take is a mistake to lend anything to Kenians. A big Mistake.

It is understood that in crafting the merger, a valuation conducted on both companies put Airtel at 15 per cent higher than Telkom Kenya. Since Airtel is contributing the entire business, the arrangement is that it will issue shareholder loans to the merged entity, repayable in four years. If in four years the government and Helios will not have repaid the loan, Airtel will take control of the combined entity. Enough of the boring details.

Safcom has little to worry about from the merger for the near future. The confusion that reigns within a merger of this sort isn't good for customers or (disgruntled) employees. How will Equitel be affected? On a side note, my purchase cost of the Faiba modem has been offset by buying (cheaper) data bundles vs Airtel and Safcom. I still use Safcom when and where necessary but my usage on Safcom has significantly reduced within Nairobi and Mombasa. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Digression that might interest some... To achieve this goal, the company will try and raise up to USD 1.5 billion by listing a quarter of the equity in its African unit. It hopes to list the assets by the start of next year, either in London or South Africa. Airtel to list it's African Business in London or South Africa

In the process of enhancing the reliability, capacity, speeds and reach of its network, Telkom Kenya has announced the expansion of its 4G-covered zones within Nairobi and its surroundings. In particular, the following areas will soon benefit from the telco’s LTE services: Athi River, Syokimau, Kitengela, Thika, Kiambu Town, Kikuyu Town, Kiserian and Ngong.

Alternatively, Whatever sells in these two towns will definitely sell elsewhere in Kenya given that condition persists in Nairobi sufficiently long enough.

War for the Internet market share in Kenya between Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom Kenya seems not to be ending soon as Telcom has hit the market with a new 5GB bundle worth Ksh 39. The 5GB bundle dubbed ‘Night Owl Bundle’ is available between 12am and 6am daily and you can purchase it more than once. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
