Got same info as reported by Muganda from some reliable sources. And from that 250, around 50 have ported to safcm.

Dont think the portability will work the magic Airtel is looking for. As an individual sample ten members Friends, family en Colleagus how many have taken note, mentioned porting to another network? for me none of the above Hence Airtel is loosing more money than they intend to make in Advertisement, Bonus airtime and free portability. While safcom is bussy adding value i.e just did adeal of 50M with huawei for cheep affordable handsets. my two cents

I think airtel lacks an emotional connection with kenyans like safaricom does.I dont know why pple have a tendency to protect and market safaricom for free out of their love for the brand. Airtel uses some very combative marketing strategies that ends up painting safaricom as an underdog and airtel as a bully,and many pple feel the need to protect the underdog.Am guilty of that sometimes. The way Menza attacks safaricom in his adverts and press briefing does not resonate well with his potential clients.I think airtel should concentrate on its own value addition and assume safaricom does not exist that way they might win more customers.

I didnt see it on that angle...that would really hurt them.Am thinking of idlers who would even use their idle lines to test the porting service from airtel since its free. That alone is costing airtel.

......I will sure try it out using one idle safcom line I gat....lol!!!
