SCOM is up against the best of them. This is definitely no clueless Yu and Airtel CEOs. Back to drawing board.

Safaricom certainly still have their dirty tricks up the sleeve; they may have sent "new customers" to buy the EQT thin sims and make it look like the customer base is amazing only for these "new customers" to disappear after the roll-out. Airtel & Yu both learnt this the hard way. Getting a pie from the incumbent is always a tall order but let's grab our popcorn jars, sit on the couch and enjoy the fight.

I have an insider who told me that the moment you put the slim-sim on your SCOM line the m-pesa menu disappears. How many Kenyans will want to do that?

I still wonder how it works coz they say only one simcard is active at a single moment

Imho I don't think that would be smart play from the guys at safcom. It might bite them hard especially if equity's service is without any hitches. Free marketing it could be called.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
