the entries for the numbers and that is why when using these services (e.g MPESA, ZAP) one manually type the intended recipient's mobile phone  number.  I'm glad they do not charge for reimbursing.

With ZAP, one has the option of entering the receiver's number from phonebook, without having to manually enter the details

Im sure  millions of shillings disappear from consumers pockets this way :-).

When a line with credit is deactivated what happens to the credit?  With the banks a new policy requires that funds from inactive accounts need to be remitted to Central Bank.   Robert Yawe KAY System Technologies Ltd Phoenix House, 6th Floor P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200 Kenya Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696 _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: otieno.barrack@gmail.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/otieno.barrack%40gmail.com -- Barrack O.
