In other words they are not non-issues Andrea, to learn you must risk looking silly which is what we are trying here, so when a telco cashes on the citizens ignorance who defends them? that is impunity!
Both non-issues, I think:
For whatever evils you want to blame on Safaricom (global warming? end of civilisation as we know it? feminism?), you can't really blame them for your own inability to enter the phone number of the intended recipient correctly. And I say this as someone who has broken up larger M-PESA payments in two amounts because I was too freaked out that I'd accidentally send the money to the wrong person.
And deactivated lines: If you want to deactivate your Safcom line, take the money out of your MPESA. Easy. It won't get disconnected by CCK for failure to register it because the registration process for M-PESA doubles up as your SIM card registration. If CCK disconnects your line because you've been found to demand ransom M-PESA payments for abducting kids, you have other problems.

Hi,I have noted that when you send money from mpesa to the wrong number and you request for the transaction to be reversed you do not recover the transaction costs.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
