This was a loophole that was exploited to enable one to identify the owner of a particular no. This was closed/fixed by Safaricom I believe. It was a privacy concern.

Hi guys,

Sorry this is kind of off the topic, but I remember once there was a discussion about how to identify an unknown number by sending MPesa, a higher amount than what is available in your account, then MPesa sends you a message with the unknown number's identity? (I've searched the forums and can't come up with it). Please give me the info if you have it.

Also, very interesting topic this is!

If Airtime is able to buy data bundle, then for sure it's already currency, no?

Just to add, I think SCOM should allow sambazarization of data bundles!!

That would effectively make airtime currency :)
