Not exactly bought. And if 'bought' at all then only their SMS. Google through gmail is offering free SMS but currently only limited to Safaricom in Kenya. The phone owner can reply to your SMS and it comes back to your Gmail Chat as Chat. The phone owner who replies would of course be charged for the text.

Yawa. This is not complication. I have been hearing about value added this value added that and was wondering just how much value can you add on mobile phone services. Today I have finally seen one.

I have actually tested the service and its great Applause Applause though the sms comes with too much unnecessary info!

Good if you want to send a quick message!

With all the value in a safaricom line (cheaper calls, okoa jahazi, mpesa, mkesho, google sms, sms bundles, please call me, popularity,CRS programmes, sonko and many more) zain deserves to be quite a bit cheaper, but it is not.

With all that, Safcon shouldn't be making profits since they're so affordable, yet they fleece you proper...
