I strongly feel the way data is charged through mobile phones gives telcos freedom to loot pples money "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

@VituVingiSana 2G coverage is being increased for; To cater for the increase in number of subscriber hence more voice calls. To improve on call quality. To improve on MPESA reliability since it's an SMS based application Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

Don't 3G base stations support better quality & greater quantity? To improve on call quality. How vs 3G/4G? [Unless it's a cost issue] To improve on MPESA reliability since it's an SMS based application OK. Interesting. Thanks

@VituVingiSana 3G and 4G is for data/mobile internet only; not voice or sms. 3G/4G don't do voice Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

It is also possible on 4G though in this case voice traffic voice call is treated like data. Proverbs 4:23 [23]Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

@kawambui; Voice call through data quality is very very poor. 2G gives a very clear voice and is the preferred and recommended in the ITU standards. Technology of 2G and 3G is different. That is why any mobile phone normally has both true voice and data capabilities for the case of smart phones. The antennas are also different for 2 and 3/4G Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle
