NO THANKS.

Not bad!!! what do you have to lose if you were on Safcom to begin with???

You now pay:

4 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1....

instead of

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4....

If you speak for a minute or less, you stick to you 4/= a minute! Chida iko wapi? [if you are on Safcom already]

It might not be very helpful to some people < 1min but no subscriber loses because of this.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

1. its a promotional offer. Why not make it permanent
Quote:
The promotion runs from the 24th of July to 23rd of August 23 2012
.

2. its coined to make everyone talk more to increase their revenue.
Quote:
The Chief Executive Officer explained that the Wakenya Tuongee promotion has also been informed by insights that indicate that a majority of customers talk for less than two minutes. The promotion is aimed at encouraging customers to talk more with their families, friends and business partners.


3. Its laden with lies
Quote:
“One of the outstanding attributes at Safaricom is our customer focus. And so on a periodic basis we always review our customer propositions with a view to enhancing the Safaricom experience for our customers."
. Huh! Since when???

4. Its a con game because it requires one to subscribe daily. What about senior citizens without know-how of how to subscribe? They will talk more thinking its cheaper and end up poorer
Quote:
Customers will be required to subscribe to the it by dialing *777# to enjoy the promotion


5. The offer is intended to prevent declining market share
Quote:
Safaricom‘s market share by subscription declined from 66.6 per cent in the previous quarter to 65.3 per cent




CONCLUSION

This offer is coined to benefit Safaricom more than it will benefit the loyal customers it purports to reward. WAKENYA TUSIONGEE

Always start as a promotion to see if its sustainable. Nothing wrong with this.

Win win if you ask me.

Have you tried Orange or Airtel customer service focus? If you haven't heard how bad it is, then you are may be in diaspora

4. Its a con game because it requires one to subscribe daily. What about senior citizens without know-how of how to subscribe? They will talk more thinking its cheaper and end up poorer

How does it become a con game if you lose nothing by not subscribing? I also doubt subscribing is a daily thing.

5. The offer is intended to prevent declining market share
Quote:
Safaricom‘s market share by subscription declined from 66.6 per cent in the previous quarter to 65.3 per cent

How is this bad for a business.



CONCLUSION

This offer is coined to benefit Safaricom more that it will benefit the loyal customers it purports to reward.


Safaricom is, just like the rest of the telcos, profit driven. Sorry, its never entirely about you.

I use Safaricom.

There was a time,
when my bloodline,
and that of all KE run green;

What a 'peculiar' time!
I still have my Safaricom line,
but my vision is a clear screen.

I don't know where my indifference will lead me...

Of course it's meant to benefit safcom, it's a business!!!

It's very good for those who talk more especially when conversing with loved ones!!!

Some people just hate hate hate....hii kitu iko sawa!!!

we don't hate for nothing. in fact, i was a strong defender of safaricom once...When MJ still reigned. Who remembers http://m.wazua.co.ke/forum.aspx?g=posts&m=107069"Safaricom die hard section"


Quote:
and now i call at 2/= per minute...........hello

am sorrounded by mpesa agents, like am on an ovacado tree in high season. just pick one with a smiling girl......meaning i dont have to cram which street a Zap or Yucash gent is located.

i pepea at 8/= for 10mbs per day....i dont know if MJ does his counting right because i have more than i need....and i use them with a modem once in a while, just to protect my line being bloated from excess MBs

i still have a lot of bonga points that i can redeem for a mobile phone anytime

mkesho.....i have it but not very bothered how it operates

and i don't care who moved to Zain or Yu, because my phonebook is still 90% safaricom......but i maintain YU line just incase there is a sumbua on other networks i need to talk to.....

untill MJ BUYS A ZAIN LINE SIHAMI NA SIHAMI

BTW, there is a pending line portability utility coming soon.....just in case i think otherwise.


Am a safaricom die hard

So I dialed *777# and before I said subscribe, just realized there is SMALL PRINT:

o Offer valid for Safaricom to Safaricom calls only
o Off peak rate of 2/= from 10pm to 6am daily will not apply

The third side of the coin:
Whatever the case, you have to admire this Bobmanamba, if only he could do it for a week for the average Safaricom subscriber in all major towns... no one would really care the tarrif, they'd just opt in

Doors of opportunity don't just open , they have to be unlocked & it's up to you to turn the knob.

Safcom can not automatically subscribe you to a service, you have to agree to the terms and conditions of this offer.
