looking for the bestell ceo
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hi, Anyone with his contacts, kindly hola. I've been waiting for a "yes/no" reply over a warranty issue from the managerial stuff (at the bestel kimathi shop) for three weeks now (and I'm such a nag, calling each weekday asking for the reply). I email the staff my reasons for demanding a warranty replacement, finally asking if "in light of the above reasons, will you (or will you not) replace the item with under warranty service". Three weeks waiting.... and now they just hang up on me when I call, or place the phone on the table (after which I proceed to talk to myself [which isn't as bad as you think by the way]). But alas, they see me as a mere single customer... why should they give a care for a mere nagging single customer? Don't they have thousands more? Needless to say, their customer service is excellent...... excellently hands-off [... hands off the phone, and email] So, hola with the ceo contacts, or inform them of him/her of my predicament

iPhone CDMA on Orange network
by Mark Mwangi 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I have been wondering for a while why Orange Kenya does not sell CDMA iPhones yet they have the only active CDMA network in the region and as far as I can tell it is on the same tech as the American one (CDMA 2000) This would ensure lock in of subscribers and allow subsidizing of handsets. The subscribers would be happy on an non-congested network, assured revenues for the network since there is no unlocking or sim swap business and utilization of the network that only seems to be used by modem dongles. Win win? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

Social Media Troubles
by Odhiambo Washington 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Skunks, 1. Some months or so ago, I could choose what updates I'd like to receive from my FB friends, by just hovering over their names, choosing settings, then .. Now I don't see those options. Ziko wapi? 2. I'd like to restrict who can add me to their circles in Google+ - I get so many additions, which is kinda annoying to me.. Howdy? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
