@ Phares number porting will be the end of LCR 2009/4/14 James Muendo <timrick@gmail.com>
Moto Baridi,
Am not on Zain but I recall using 707 or 710 to call the customer care one time in my life.Try that.
Right now am wondering whats wrong with the celtels EDGE.I think the highest speed I have seen today is 4kpbs.Hata emails kusoma ni shida.Its just useless at that level,after being touted as the best network,right now its just messed up.I wish they could offer better data services.Safaricom/Orange right now is making a kill out of it and the demand for Data on mobile devices is just too high.

@ndungu you are partially right but zain(when kencell) made a tactical
blunder by insisting on per minute billing and gave safaricom a head start and.. marketing!!! celtel/zain (zain kidogo improved) below average and safaricom are on top on that with extra services like 3g, bonga point, mpesa et c but if u ask me zain has a better deal for voice most of us are
just
locked up in safaricom coz of the convinience of peopl i call oftenly are in safcom (look at your phone book) how many guyz are in zain.
I must admit i have very few guys in my phonebook in other networks, though i have tried to encourage 'cheaper calling rates' with no success,,, i am not againist safcom, they have offered a lot of good service that is keeping the subscribers. The marketing department is also super. I remember them telling us that when they first came up with the mpesa idea [i.e the kiosks idea] only one guy showed up and he slept through out the meeting [cos he was on ramadhan]. But put the marketing guys a few months later, a few choir songs on radio and every kenyan is curious to try it out.
Now strangely, i have not heard anything on Zap, i know they are on trial,, but still....!!!?? Back in the country side, no one knows about Zap,, [i.e citing majority] ========
However, my point focuses on whether Zain [and others] are disadvantaged or not,,, i think they are.. citing that the government has stakes in the 3 telco companies...not forgetting that the backbone of telco connections rests on telkom.
Secondly, kenyans are very oriented on taking sides,, Zain which bought Kencell [but Zain is not kencell] was disadvantaged from the beginning because people associated it with 'a rich man's network'.
Whilst forgetting that if you hook up the majority, then the 'rich' will most definitely follow. For example the students [wasotaji] of yesterday, are the working class of tomorrow.
I dont think kenyans have forgiven them yet. :-)
If zain wins its current "connection fee wars" in court, I think they will claim a level playing field,,, what will remain is to compete on services and tariffs.
