Hi Dennis, I haven’t tested on a feature phone yet but yeah. For a while this issue has been alternating in functionality. First it could only read through SIM contacts only then it worked on both but only on Android 2.x upto version 5.x but not above version 5. On iPhone it only searches the phone contacts. I thinking this is a major value add that Safaricom needs to align. I know it requires for them to access phones private data stores which as per data privacy laws can be limiting as mobile devices become more secured due to global data privacy laws but I’m sure there is a solution somewhere.

Good Morning,
Has anyone else noticed they cant pick SIM contacts to use when sending MPESA?
I have tried with 2 Phones, One an Android smart phone and a Nokia feature phone. All was working well until early last week.
Have a great week ahead.

Every time I would want to praise Safaricom for the good service that you provide, you go and do some nasty business to me.
Kindly follow up on SR-10STCSP3.
Otherwise my current opinion is that your company is just another thieving enterprise.
Regards,
Kevin

Lodwar: 4G works. (surprisingly well)
Lorungum: about 45 clicks due west on your way to UG: 3G works. In between, spotty cell reception.
Katilu, almost a hundred clicks due south of Lodwar has zero network. patchy Edge signal.
Otherwise all good up here.

Good to know they delivered beyond expectations. Parts of limuru still have signal (both voice and data) challenges but najua wanaweza bado.

In June 2017 i raised an issue during the talk to Safaricom debate with regard to poor signal from Kisamese (Ole Polos division). I am happy to report that Safaricom went beyond my expectations and we actually have a 3 G signal. I am able to work comfortably from the location. Thanks Steve Chege and the team of engineers that you dispatched. Mnaweza kabisa. Please consider other areas in mashinani as well.
Best Regards
