I'm going for the normal sim and I have no intention of getting the thin sim because I don't want interruption when the supermarket financial services are officially launched "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

From some experts, i also do gather that the thin sim might not work so well with our numerous Shaina fones. more so low end phones (where the targeted Market is). Could that be the cause of the delay in launching the game changer?

How can Equitel dictate rates for calls to Equitel? Arent these for the originating networks to determine while considering the MTR?

If these/above rates are grom "Finsave"(what's the EB subsidially called!) the who idea is a non-starter. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

The curiosity is killing me¡¡¡ With the thin sim, only one simcard can work at a time. The thin sim be the default but in its stk there is a 'SIM2' option which allows you to choose to use the other sim. The only drawback is that you have to restart the phone when switch between the SIMs, but it's definitely much better than having to remove your battery. Above all, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

Looks like Equity's calling, data and sms rates wont be any different from safaricom. Their focus is just mobile money. They would have had me at cheap data bundles...but anyway will try it out if it doesnt confuse my phone

Reminds me of how we used to make a dual-sim phone out of a single sim one back in the early 2000s. Tumetoka mbali.
