Alex, This sound just too familiar to me! I had a similar experience last week on Friday. I had enough money on my Safaricom line; I used it to connect to the Internet (from my computer via blue tooth) to download my email to Outlook. After disconnecting, I still had over KES 100 worth of credit but I could not even send a text message. I kept receiving '. you have insufficient.' message. I was forced to purchase more airtime in order to continue using my phone. I indeed confirm that THERE IS A PROBLEM! Muthoni _____ From: kictanet-bounces+muthoni=uonbi.ac.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+muthoni=uonbi.ac.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Alex Owiti Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 11:41 AM To: muthoni@uonbi.ac.ke Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: [kictanet] IS THE SAFARICOM NETWORK BECOMING OBSOLETE Today in the morning, I did top up my phone with Sh.100 then I proceeded to download some stuff on my phone and the balance was Sh.39.00-Now I can't make a call and I can't text-what kind of a joke is this-I have decided to call the Safaricom's care center and the agent told me that I might have logged out from the internet wrongly and so I should confirm if some of the applications are running and money is being utilized-which was not the case-she has adviced me to remove my SIM card and the battery and return them again and things will be normalized-but after just doing that-I have been told I have insufficient credit-I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION TO THIS MISERY.
