Asante Airtel for dropping my calling costs BUT my overall spend has not dropped... I used to be curt but now I am ok even if I am put on hold!

The simplicity is what I like... One price to call anyone, anytime... [Plus 3/- to UK, USA, etc...]


Incidentally, Orange is now my main provider as most of my calls are to landlines during office hours. It costs me just Kshs 100 for a whole month (less than 5/= a working day) to call from between 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. I think that this is just too good to last, but I will enjoy it for as long as it does!

Is Zain/Airtel getting undeserved credit?

Zain reduced the calling rates after CCK halved the interconnection charges from Sh 4.42 to Sh 2.21. This is set to reduce further to Sh 0.87 in 2014.
Kenya has the second lowest intercon rates in Africa...compare with SA 9.31, Naija 6.00, TZ 5.98, UG 6.44.
IMHO, credit should be to CCK first.

Yeah, many of us actually lost on this factor. zain apparently hogs all credit cos of first mover. Putting into perspective this fact then safcon which was charging 6/(this I heard was the avaerage of the variable super ongea although personally i never got it). so safcon was getting 1.79 for the first minute, 7.79 for two minutes. Now with 3sh. they get 0/79 for first, 3.79 for two min......

well, it doesnt change much the revenue haemorrage equation as i had initially thought.

its not about giving credit.. its about the cloud hanging over safaricom
