Not sure if the reverse works (I have to ask a Safaricom subscriber). The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

MPesa can only send to SCOM numbers. @Djinn: Many people don't remember that Kencell was ahead of SCOM in introducing sms....and when SCOM also introduced the service,it was not possible to send from SCOM to Kencell while Kencell to SCOM was going through....in fact,Kencell started sending sms abroad long before SCOM was able to send to Kencell.... Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow) Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

They forgot that in Africa,more often than not,quantity beats quality. smano BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

When you send money to a non-Safaricom number the recipient gets an sms with the transaction ID which he then presents to an Mpesa agent who can then does the transaction on his behalf using his (agent's) phone. That sms is valid for 7 days,after which if the money is not withdrawn it reverts to the sender. And yes you can send to any mobile number as long as it's able to recieve sms. Be the change you want to see in the world...

Rank: Member Joined: 9/7/2007 Posts: 168 Location: Nairobi		You mean zap jamaas could not send money b4 to other networks? atleast for M-Pesa it worked right from the start. Forget about the 10 bob,Zain needs to just do what the leader is doing cos if it does not make business sense,then stop it rather than quietly hike rates while people still think they are enjoying an offer. By the way how far has the sale of zain gone? Is it true? KENCELL,CELTEL,ZAIN,...like Kenya's political parties today is the day to act,don't say tomorrow
