Regardless of all the above tips and suggested phone models, bottom line is that the feature is difficult to work with especially with the lack of intuitiveness.

I have a common Nokia model; 2730 and I gave up trying to look up numbers form the SIM card to use with MPesa.

Another half-baked 'first of its kind' innovation but at least they tried.

I never keep any contacts on the SIM card so I always enter the numbers manually - holding two phones 2getha to ensure I don't make a mistake:-)
