 i dont think safaricom net, has anything to do with the how long your battery lasts or any net work whatsoever ...maybe should ld check with nokia care centers when u come to kenya ...

it could be also your mobile usage when in kenya , maybe you use more when in kenya than SA :)

Wes,

The network claim might be true. When I'm in Kenya my Nokia batts last
max 2 days. When I'm in SA or Cairo or Botswana with same phone I get
up to 4 days with heavily increased usage as I use the phone for most
of my 'net access.

Seems safaricoms net density isn't as good as it ought to be.

Mblayo
