With EDGE that is 2.5 and above.. I believe will do but very slow. Do u ever see E on your smart phone when you go interior?

i donot know what this bob collymore game plan is.are people using 4G as planned?well i donot know what other things they are using 4G for but the masses are not using it to full potentiality.4G modems and 4G phones prices are all the way up there.and they are mentioning 5G?

No, my phone shows a "H" hapo juu ya network whenever am in bunduz or inside my bedroom.

Explain?

You cannot just wish away 2G (GSM). As @Ericsson says, 2G is preferred for voice that's why every phone will come with 2G. When it comes to mobile networks Voice is everything; the rest are value add services, check the bulk of safaricom revenues. No one cares how good the browsing speed is if voice service is terrible.
Again 5G may take quite a while before it materializes, especially in Kenya, in fact i don't think there are 5G phone s in the market yet.

What about WhatsApp, Viber and FaceTime? Sometimes, my WhatsApp calls sound better than my regular voice calls especially on Safaricom! Isn't WhatsApp reliant on 3G/4G? [Though to save data, I often use WhatsApp when I am on a good wifi]

was in some remote location yesterday and surprisingly 2g EDGE was faster than 3g in Nairobi, I think it's because few or no people use the Internet there

safcom reminds me of telcom, the latter brought down itself due to its dominance such that they were blind to what was happening around them, it was made worse by the cheerleaders who thought the cooper wire was the best thing since the smoke signal days.

2019 will be to safcom what 1999 was to telcom.

So who's taking Safcom's place in like 3 years? The competition is limping. Your assumption is totally unsubstantiated unless you can provide evidence otherwise. reality doesn't bear you witness. People hate on Safcom but they should blame the competition. Airtel, through it's many iterations, had a chance and they screwed it up!

When I hear somebody blame Safaricom for sijui dominance and huge profit making, I refer to the African culture of jealous! You claim safaricom is overcharging so who is undercharging or charging fairly? Who has this scale of fair charges? Its dominant yes, it has performed well in class as the top student... Keep up safcom don't loose your position 1 Dominate to 99% then go regional. Safaricom brought us the a whole flexibility from purchase of lines, phones, scratch cards of low denomination, okoa jahazi, mobile money transfers, Lipa na mpesa,....the list is endless. This has meant investment of time and money.....All this time this prostitutes (Airtel/Kencell/Orange.e.t c) were moving around changing names and men at expensive rates and NO innovation. Why are people wishing safaricom bad?

Some times I read certain posts and I wonder if I should reply. No facts at all. No basis.

How do you compare telcom to Safcom??? Unless you just want to type something or you are too young!! You had to know and bribe people to get connected to telcom. If your line had problems, it would take even months to be sorted out and you still had to bribe the person sending the technicians and the technicians themselves. There was zero innovation at Telcom. Absolute zero! No marketing etc.

Now, Safaricom is at totally another level. Innovation - must be the number one company on innovation in the region. Unparalleled marketing. The process at Safaricom must be some of the best in the country. I know someone high up at Safaricom and they explained to me the processes from how they organize groups for product development etc. and I was extremely impressed. You should hear the inside story of the process that was involved to bring MPesa home and you will understand why I am totally amused by some of the statements here!!!

These guys should be running the country!! Trust me! If you gave the Safaricom team the country to run, in 10 years you would not be a 3rd world country!!
