The 700 MHz frequency assigned to JTL will be the major advantage i.e one tower (eNB) can cover larger areas.

how they got that frequency is story for another day. .




The link below should provide a list of phones capable operating on that band 28

Thank you Faiba! Though it's still pricier than Faiba.
I don't know if Airtel provides 4G... I often get EDGE on it.

Airtel has 4G coverage in Nairobi. Their 4G wireless router costs 4,000/ & comes with a 4G simcard + 10GB data. The router connects 10 devices

The tricky part with faiba is the 30days expiry period for their data bundles. They should extend it to 90 days

Extending it to 90 days means they make less money and consumption over time declines.They are happy when you clear the bundles and buy more in 30 days

The idea is to keep you buying on a regular basis. A subscription model. I am a-ok with the 30-day bundles if I can buy 120 Gb [mobile data] for 4k compared to what I currently pay Airtel and Safcom.

What sold me is the "mobile" data bundle vs Safcom's unlimited @home package which can only be used at home... I think "mobile" data is a better deal as we are out of the house for most of the day. That said, different strokes for different folks. Competition is a good thing!

@semaj - I checked my airtel line but I didn't see the package you mentioned. Please post a link to the offer.

The package is available on the 4G simcard, which is currently available only when you buy the 4G router

Is this a "wifi" router like the "mifi" device? In other words, is it a mobile device? Thanks! [Plus a link would be helpful]... Google isn't helping much!

Very Interesting the link in Airtel Kenya post links to Jumia

With Safaricom having launched their online store, masoko , seems airtel is backing a third party online store by opening their own store front in Jumia.
