Huh? I have been doing this using WhatsApp for... years!


Yes while incurring data costs.

VoLTE no data costs
So does it use "minutes/airtime"? Say I call you, my minutes/airtime are used/deducted.
So does an audio call for 1 minute = a video call for 1 minute?

BTW, there's a data package from Saf that offers 5Gb (or so) free WhatsApp when one buys a 5gb data bundle.

Is this just a clever way for Safcom to charge both ways? With voice only the caller pays now with video you pay to see the other person and they pay to see you. Very clever indeed. Good for profits....

You can be sure girls will never call their boyfriends and husbands using voice peke yake, they will always video so that they can ask "ni nani huyo mko na yeye" and guys will be refusing to pick video calls only insisting on voice..........

you see all these technology things are just the work of the devil...always introducing things to fight about.Laughing out loudly

Sad that we have lost him. He was a great leader and oversaw a huge part of the recent Safaricom strategies of staying ahead of competition. May he rest in peace.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Very sad indeed to have lost one of the best CEOs in the country. May he rest in peace....

From Jeff Koinange's interview on Citizen, he had already told the board that he won't last the year that they had given him after medical complications and that they should look for his successor. So the Safaricom board was preparing to name a new CEO this week and give Bob some time off to spend with his family in his final days.
