I decided to switch to Android and got the Huawei Ideos phone. The android thing is really an amazing experience. However, I can't find the Safaricom menu and services e.g Mpesa on the phone. I cannot even access the contacts on the SIM card.

Wazuans please help and save me the journey to the Safaricom Customer care centre.

@jaggernaut,
1. To access M-Pesa menu, check for an app called: SIM Toolkit in your app list.
2. I also noticed new contacts are not displayed on the default Contacts app. To solve this, go to Market-an app in your app list smile and look for an app called Go Contacts. Download and install.

Thanks guys. I have managed to access the Safcom services by opening the app called 'SIM Toolkit'. Somehow I hadn't seen it coz its among the very many apps on the phone. For contacts, i found the option to import contacts from the SIM card. Thanks. Some of these things happen when you have a new advanced phone.

The phone still has the SD card. It was never locked to safcom network. I think the offer on this one came from google not safcom.
Keep it simple
