Hi Vincent, Where are the rates you have quoted? Perhaps you forgot to attach something?? So you are saying that I will be paying you 3,000*5 to get 5 trunks each with 30 channels?? Any taxes? And with these, then I incur bills for my outbound calls while incoming are not charged, right? And given that my "fixed lines" (funny terminology here) are all out of Kenya, how do you expect to handle my calls to KE numbers?? PS: I think we are almost getting somewhere .. approaching a sign up:-) I just need to wrap up my head around the costs, lest I miss something on the dotted line.

Seeking advice on GPS-enabled phone
by James Gathogo 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi, I plan to map some health facilities in Mandera and I need advice on your experience with mobile phones in getting GPS co-ordinates/locations. I am assuming mobile phones depend on the infrastructure of say Safaricom to get the GPS locations. What happens in areas where there is no network, how will I get the GPS co-ordinates? Finally, in your experience, what particular phone model has worked for you; what would you recommend? Thanks James
