Safaricom SMS STOP20465
by Ouya Obunga 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Dear Listers, I noticed that Bulk SMS messages sent to Safaricom network now carry the suffix STOP20465 at the end of the message. On further enquiry, I was informed that any SMS will have a limit of 140 characters instead of the usual 160 characters due to the suffix text. Anyone from Safaricom to share the rationale behind this? Best regards, -- *Ouya Obunga* Product Lead (Big Data & Mobile Banking) SMS & USSD | Microfinance System | Mobile Payments | Hadoop 0720 438 527

Equitel - M-Pesa battle heats up as Safaricom raises M-Pesa termination fees
by Dennis Kioko 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Equitel has silently hiked up the amount it charges to send money to M-Pesa, leading to a rise of more than 100% and even 200% depending on the amount you are sending. Equity Bank says it charges remain about KSh. 30, but the extra costs are what Safaricom is levying them to accept M-Pesa deposits from Equitel http://www.infotake.co.ke/2015/08/equitel-users-silently-hit-by-100.html -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Show Loader For Pesapal iFrame
by King'ori Maina 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello, I find that the Pesapal iFrame takes a while to load … which leaves you with a blank page. With no indication of loading, the user isn’t given feedback that there is something that’s loading. Is there a way to add a loader? I’m assuming this would be the default until the iFrame loads. — King’ori Maina (kingori.co <http://kingori.co/>)
