the scom to scom at 2bob is a killer move! based on their customer numbers. they can sustain profits. albeit at lower levels.

msoto, 10 MB for 8 bob per day teanslates to 300 MB for kshs 240 in a month for safcon......another way of looking at it!!!!!!


l wonder, what can one do with 8MB of data?



Come to think of it , what serious business can one do over the phone internet? Checking email, facebook, chatting maybe reading the newspaper....Quite limiting, physically and otherwise.

Lets do this mathematically. Profit last year 20B. 70% from voice (correct me if I'm wrong).

Now, if you drop voice charges from 8 bob to 2 bob, you expect to drop voice profits from 14B to 3.5B.

Sustain profits?

@obiero - Wacha kudanganya sisi... From 8/- to 2/-??? [I hardly saw the cheap rates under supa ongea]

What of the 'losses' from 12/- off-net to 3/-?

You can now call for 3/=. If my memory isn't failing me, Post paid were being charged at 4/= per minute

.....this 2kshs and 3kshs from safaricom were mere promotions... now in today's Newspapers (Nation page 7) they have introduced a new Uwezo Tarrif that charges 3bob to safcom and 4bob to other networs and all prepaid customers will automatically be switched over to that tarrif.....wa!....

@GATHINGA

My thoughts too. Why didnt they make the 2 and 3 bob offers permanent?
