if the thin sim indeed costs 600 then adoption is going to take longer to pick up. On Mon, Jul 20, 2015 at 12:52 PM, Vincent Mosoti via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
My only problem will be if they insist of having an account with them for you to get the Thin Sim.Otherwise, they should use the model Safcom used with the Mshwari i.e you don't have an account with CBA but as soon as you register with Mshwari, then the CBA account is logically created for you. I will be ready to give it a try if indeed I can send money to an MPESA user at a lower fee.MPESA transaction fees are a burden.

Hi,
I think this will work very well for anyone not wanting to spend a ton of cash on transaction fees. Safaricom’s MPESA needs that competition and if it means I can get a sim card that allows me to send 10k or 20k and charge me 25/- only, then I will get that simcard. I think EQUITY is best positioned to dent MPESA dominance, even if they only get 10% market share, it will be a huge win for EQUITEL.

Muga.

Further to that, why do l need to move to equitel and they are also charging 4/-. Not enough reasons to make me move.
Second, is money transfer is only free from equity to equity?
Kind Regards,

In addition, the Thin SIM costs KSh. 600. I don't think Safaricom needed to go to court for that.

So the Equity's Thin Sim is being launched today according to Daily Nation {http://goo.gl/Kvv6Ff}. Question is, will it stand the test of time given the fact that probably only Equity Bank account holders will get the Thin Sim. Will this have any effect on MPESA.

Hellos.
Equity have gotten every approval for Thin SIM pilot roll-out; CAK (CCK), CBK, add Presidential if it matters. You can ignore the court cases and all, they are side-shows.
I spent part of Friday at Equity registering for the Equitel service and linking it to some account I have there. They are currently issuing normal SIM cards and not Thin SIMs.
My take is that they are managing customer expectations; they advertised a technology that they were not ready with.
Meanwhile I have to shift SIM cards to access Equitel services. Will not mind if it ends up being cheaper than the hundreds I keep giving Queen Bee to send money.

Hallo Skunks,
Equitybank has not yet issued the thin SIM. Though we should expect them anytime before and hopefully closure of year. Equity bank could not proceed to pre-order the thin SIM when their was some issues pending determination by some govt arm's. As we maybe aware Equity bank was last month given the go ahead to roll out the thin SIM card for a period of one year within which the same will act as a pilot period. As we wait for the thin SIM card Equity has been issuing to her customers with active accounts with the normal SIM card.The prefix is "0763" and the network name is known as "Equitell".Iam a holder of the Equitell line. Walk to any Equity bank branch and you will be issued for free. Consider opening an account with Equity bank to have the chance to get for yourself the SIM card for free. Remember the normal SIM card is only being issued for a temporary period awaiting the thin SIM. Another key point. You have the chance to retain the numbers of your current line but replace the prefix with Equitell's prefix.
Warm regards, Alex Gabriel

I have asked and been told they weren't being issued, so I got surprised when people here insisted the same were being issued. I was just giving them benefit of doubt.
