This masaa ya kubamba na sms is a cash cow for safaricom if they are able to sell it but its a little bit complicated look at this,The smses are bought per bundle.

20/= 100sms
10/= 20sms
5/= 5sms
and its only for safaricom to safaricom sms only.

MJ is complicating this company just like KENCELL did in the 90s I think he is walking on a very thin line.Public opinion on this company will continue to deteriorate if he keeps discriminating on the price.

I think the basic concept some people don't udnerstand is that is is in our own interests as consumers to ensure Zain survives...because if they don't, Safcon will have our little a**es for dinner and we will be eaten shamelessly.

Not to mention needing a PhD just to figure out safaricom's promotions!

I am trying to figure out the last time i wrote an SMS.....Oh,let alone receive one.Thing is,if i can call so cheaply and pass the message easily,why tire my small fingers scrolling through alphabets??.....let them stop wasting time collecting tongolos....Get into DB and run DSTV out of town.That's where the money is.

To throw this share away and forget i would say.

ZAin:
1.Has unleashed Kshs 240 Million to recruit 15,000 more ZAP agents across the country.
2.Bharti Airtel is part shareholder of EASSy and Zain expects to tap from this to lower data charges.
3.Zain to launch SAT TV inside 6 months.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The sh20 for 100sms is definately ridiculous to wanjiko mama mboga. To me,i just cant stop admiring MJs ideas-in busines the last thing u shud do is to appear desparate to your customers of which mj is playin his cards quite safely not to. Once cck cuts down the sms charges to less than sh1 ,safcom wil b safe with 0.20 (if they maintain the offer). All said n done,am waitin 4 safcom shares at sh4.50.

Not desperate at all!

18 August: "I will not lower my rates. I have to think of sharehodlers value blah blah. I will not participate in a price war. This price of 3/= is unrealistic, blah blah blah fishcake..."

24 August: Safcon lowers calling rates to 3/=

Absolutely no desperation there...
