pole @qw, the MB loads on the sim card, not the imei. you will recall that I experimented with ideos on airtel. at the time my ideos phone had an airtel sim, the scon sim with the 600mb ideos data was chugging along very well on my other phone. I propose you somehow convince @kula to work with me to get this 600mb.

@QW, am sorry that is wrong. The IMEI is just an identity.

Whichever way we look at it. Saf really has to brace itself for an even dryer season. The NSE share index flactuations tells it all.

No. No. No No. No. No . You arent gettin it.u are having the wqong assumption that the 600 mb can be transfeqed from one imei to another.and thatsnt the case. This is a bit technical.
This is how it happens. When safaricom activates the 600 mb on that specific imei next time that specific imei wants to access the internet safaricom internet servers will check in their database if that imei has enough bandwidth (bundle) .and since it has - it was earlier activated - it will be allowed to access the internet.
Imei arent interchangable or changable.
Do u know why china phones ( those counterfeit onces) dnt have imei numbers ? Coz they want to avoid beign trackd.
I hope i have made it as simple as possible.


The free 600 Mb are not loaded onto the IMEI rather the IMEI is used to map the new ideos phone to a specific number; thus it is the number that is loaded with the 600 Mb. What you can do is; if you have a modem, remove the sim card, put it in the new ideos phone, activate the 600 Mb, once confirmation is received, return the sim card to the modem and happy surfing.

Word has it that their was a lot of rot & pillferage within safcom. Actually the main purpose for re-application was to vet these guys & it was to be done by an external org. (Kacc), some guys heard this & opted to leave. From the Huawei story, funny procurement, threats (remember mj's last week) to line activation(dealers earn when a line is activated & some internal guys were in cohoots with these dealers - ever realised that nowadays when you buy a phone line it never requires the whole process of activation as before?).
Actually after this process, safcom is going to become more efficient & costs will go down.

@erifloss hapo umedanganya. This has nothing to do with the purge atSafaricom, rather its coz they recently upgraded their billing platform from Nokia Siemens Networks to Huawei technologies and among the features of this is lines no longer have to be activated via the previous 212 procedure...

@Chris79, it started happening even before the upgrade took place.
