Sorry. But I'm not impacted yet. All my lines work well. @kenmac, I've postpay bundle 1000. tell me the scenario I should try. How much should I sambaza? Try to sambaza more than 10 MB at ago. Try to sambaza more than 20 MB in a day. Try to sambaza whatever MBs (even 5) more than twice a day! Hujuma!!! And they are your bloody MBs!!!! Bought and paid for!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

You get 2gb, and 2gb bonus usable between 10pm and 6 am. Try a 10mb sambaza and update how it goes. My response has consistently been " Sorry, your balance is insufficient to complete your sambaza request". even after the 36mb okoa bundles.

How much does it cost to unlock a Safaricom modem? Where? I want to move to Airtel ASAP - atleast for my laptops. I could buy an Airtel modem but no need to have two Safcom modems lying around in the house. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Else, just buy a cheap smartphone and use it for wi fi in the house.

I could buy an Airtel modem but no need to have two Safcom modems lying around in the house. Depending on the model and your patience you could do that from home. There are simple softwares available that can do that job.

Viber, Skype and Whatsup are some of the reasons why suffering-con is mean with their data. With voice revenues stagnating and data growing at an exponential rate, they had to take the untimely drastic action.
They know Kenyans have peculiar habits - soon they will rescind the expiry decision

You buy stuff, then the seller controls you how to use it. You have time limit to use it, you cannot share, limits on quantities to buy, who to buy from etc .... Monopoly kweli.

If you want to buy and sell bundles why don't you do it in a proper way? register yourself with safcom,pay rates etc Do you think its fair if you paid for electricity at KP and ended up supplying your whole village/neighbours with power just because you've paid for it? Why would you buy bundles for 1GB and fail to utilize them within the specified period? Why cant you buy a small bundle? N/B, I do not buy bundles,I have free internet in my house as well as in forward travellers! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

When you buy bannanas from a farmer do you need his permission to sell them

I think bundles are subsidized by the company, and I think that's why somebody can resell at a profit. My 2 cents. Bundles are not subsidized!!! It is only that if you buy them in bulk, the unit price is cheaper. And this applies to most other tradeable items. Go to a supermarket near you and you will see what I mean. A kg of kimbo us cheaper that 2 half kgs of kimbo which are in turn cheaper 4 quarter kgs of kimbo. And even where packaging is not an big issue like salt etc. The same applies. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

So, if I go to baba nani's Kiosk tomorrow, tell him I'm buying bulk, to sell me all the airtime he has, I want to load al sh10,000 worth of airtime in my prepaid line, will the unit price be cheaper? @maich, please realize airtime and data bundles offerings have been designed differently. So they're not same. That's why, I believe, the operator has put different business rules! One gives you more value for money, while the other is linear priced. My opinion.

So if you are single,you can buy 20Kg of kimbo since its cheaper an expect it to take your for three years without expiring? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
