Equitel have unveiled a new 0764 prefix after hitting one million customers on the previous 0763 prefix.

1,000,000 X 600= KES 600,000,000

Mwangi should be a professor by now.. you are told its free to transact but already made 600m just from sim change over.

My take,

This will be a  DOA or BID product if they do not drop the Ksh 600 fee.  I now see why Safaricom will continue being "Dominant": They are giving/replacing 4G SIM cards for FREE!!!

Equitel should be giving out these things for free. Expecting people to pay Kshs. 600 to slowly save 5 bob per transaction to get it back is simply ridiculous. They should fire up a marketing engine and have ladies with booths signing guys up, and inserting the thin sim in their phones for free round every corner. Mobile money is a game of numbers, the more people with the ability to transact will make the platform more attractive to other people. Kshs. 600 to join? Ridiculous.

My 2c.

@Tony,

I couldn't have put it better myself. Equitel actually only need to ensure their agency network is ubiquitous and float available. 

@Maisiba ,

The common mwananchi will get the kawaida SIM @ Ksh.50.

Selling the Thin SIM @600 will hold its market subscription, not affordable for the common mwanainchi

To be clear I was asking if any additional information exists on the implementation of "encryption" as deployed by Equity.

The use of encryption does not automatically make any system secure. As a by the way, would anyone have further details on this?

http://www.taisys.com/ is a good starting point.
