Ali,

During the pilot phase for this proposition, we were told it will have bundled benefits, data, minutes. I hope it has not changed.

It's unlikely 'high-end" phones will be sold like that. But I do get your phone. Way back when Telkom was Telkom 😀 I got an iPhone on a 2-year contract. Basically it came with a data, voice plan for I think 6k a month. For two years. The great thing about the plan was that I was spending that amount or more anyway per month.

I don't mean to tell Safaricom how to do their business but most Telcos in Europe and the US have these contracts for their 'high-end' phones. Not sure why Safaricom doesn't have such plans.

These must be specifically for ''Low-End Priced phones''.

In a year 20*365 = KES 7,300/=

Hopefully, they have thought of a formula for Hign End Phones also.

Safaricom can reap on this if thought out properly.


Thank you.

Dear Listers,

Safaricom from Tuesday will start selling smartphones on credit to its subscribers who will make daily payments of as little as Sh20 a day for up to a year dubbed Lipa Mdogo Mdogo.

This is a novel idea from the telco in ensuring the 'access gap is closed" The CEO Peter Ndegwa says it will enable users to access 4G.  https://bit.ly/2EnOOew

As this unfolds, the issue of:
  1. affordability
  2. right infrastructure - power 
  3. What are competitors doing?
Will still need to be addressed going forward.

Kind Regards,

David Indeje
