Wash, suppose I want to send KShs. 4135 to Assange, I am in the middle of nowhere with nothing but my phone. I want to know how much I will be charged for sending and how much he will be charged for withdrawing so that I can include it in the amount I send, a website in this would be really helpful.

I agree with Peter.
It is very very easy and very very basic to put MPesa rates on the Safaricom without forcing us to download a pdf?
Wash, even if you can see no reason why this would be useful allow yourself to ponder that it could be useful for someone else.

Peter gives one example. I am sitting at my desk and I want to send some money via MPesa. How do I know how much to add so they can withdraw the full amount? One way would be to post the information in an easily accessible format on their website. It is ridiculous to assume that every MPesa transaction occurs near one of their posters.

I have asked someone at Safaricom who referred me to someone else who pointed me to this:

M-Pesa Tarrifs:

1. http://www.safaricom.co.ke/index.php?id=255
2. Look for "For the Full List of our M-PESA Tariff, please click on the link below". Click the hyperlink below it for the PDF!!

Safaricom is now off the hook! Whose door do we knock at next?:-)
