Thanks Patricia for that reminder. Allow me to re-post my sentiments below. (I had erroneously hit the 'reply' button instead of the 'reply to all' one. Apologies to Edith for that). ==================================================== 2011/10/27 Tony Likhanga <tlikhanga@gmail.com> Hi all, I am with Kamotho on the claims of sloppy service from the telecomms regulator. I lodged a legitimate complaint with them more than 6 months ago. Save for some initial correspondence from them; the trail went cold despite my constant reminders to them via e-mail. Regards. Tony ============================================================ 2011/10/28 Muchiri, Patricia <Muchiri@cck.go.ke>

Morning Zachary, ****

However, the confirmation message was done twice in error. We are working to ensure that notification message is only sent once ****

Have a good day ****

Hi listers, As for me, they deductions were made twice yesterday. Surely, something needs to be done. If Safaricom is interested, my number is listed in the email signature below.
Zachary.

Hi,****

I believe this is an opportunity for COFEK to prove that they are interested in all consumers.****

Robert,****
****
You’re not alone! This is an issue that Safaricom should resolve quickly! We miss those days when we would get prompt response from Safaricom! even on this list.****
****
A lot Kenyans are losing money this way – consumers are not effectively protected in this country! Pertinent information is hidden in places not easy to get even by literate and techy users, how about illiterate, non-techy users!****
****
I wonder why Consumer issues are never taken seriously!****

Hi All,****
****
Seems the case against a blogger has dampened the activity on the list.*** *
****
That's beside the point, I recently got a SMS about the Safaricom daily data bundle, which to the best of my knowledge I did not subscribe to as I do not use my phone for browsing (actually I have a separate phone for such activities).****
****
I assumed that the message was in error so I ignored it just to realise a few days later that the service was being renewed every day so I dialled the request code *544# to unsubscribe from the service just to find that the option does not exist on the menu.****
****
I then called 200 for assistance to be told that the item is not on the menu but that I should type "98" to get the option, we expect better from Safaricom can someone please resolve this issue a.s.a.p to prevent some of us from blowing the issue to the required proportions.****
****
