Zain is our hero, At last MJ has seen some fashion in price wars. Hahaaaaaaa and the consumer wins big. We need no conditions MJ and no deadlines please, roundi hii ni kufiam.

Frm this latest Scom offer ,its evident they are desparate to look in customers . And clearly itsnt goin to work .

Aah!! The new Jinyambie Tariff!

Perfect for me.... at least i wont need to vuka... i can do with this....

Obviously, its much better than I had anyway and even the thought of having a Zain line was not 'appetizing' for me..... plus there is a possibility of Zain being unsustainable.... For me, am good!

@qw
Did you say/insinuate that Safcom was 'desperately looking' for customers? I think thats what the others are doing, safcom is just protecting its territory.

The offer is ok why you may ask,
1. Out of 10 people on anyones phonebook, 8 are on safaricom. Meaning you make more calls to safaricom. So why not stick with safcom and call them at Kshs. 2!
2. Most of the people switching to Zain are actually doing so to call guys from safaricom. Still why pay 3 when i can pay 2!
3. From an investors point of view, the more subscribers zain gets the better, why? Most of these guys will be calling the better option helping them make money through the interconnection fees.
4. What most guys don't realise is that even if a company is so mighty, it can't take so much losses into their books for long. If you look at zain, it has been making losses of which they have been carrying forward.Though today's investor looks at wealth maximisation rather than profit maximisation, profit has got a large part to play in that when i'm buying a stock i'm buying a share of there future profits. Simply said, how long do you think Bharti's shareholders are going to let 'Zain' eat into their wealth whereas safaricom is causing nightmares and rapidly expanding in many fronts (ICT and Banking-money transfer)thus creating more wealth?
Anyone who knows AT&T will know how this war might end.
