@Martin, This is welcome news, I think most can live with 90 day expiry date. I was about to start drinking! On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 3:06 PM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
So guys there is an update regarding this, we have some mileage. Safaricom will launch a new data bundle that reverses the short duration of data bundle expiry. I'd say it's good news http://wp.me/p1qlhv-883

*@Bwana Lawi,*
*I think they may have studied the Kenyan mentality to perfection. Kenyans would complain bitterly and then forget with a week. So probably Safaricom knew Kenyans will rile for a week and then 'accept and move on.'*
*But I think it is a bad idea, even when dealing with captive market like us.*
*Even larger and more successful companies than Safaricom listen to feedback and respond. Apple doesn't all the time. They apologized and fixed the Apple Maps scandal. And fired Scott Forestal while at it.*
*In the larger scheme of things globally, Safaricom is really a tiny company. Doing less than USD 2 billion a year doesn't buy you arrogance. We have companies that do 100 times that, and they remain committed to their consumers. It is no wonder Safaricom remain a big fish in a very small pond, and when African telco's like MTN has gone global an become major players, Safaricom remain a small local company, which had potential to grow. And please don't bring in Vodafone's ownership as preventing Safaricom's expansion, I don't think they do.*

Maybe they already considered this. They are waiting for Kenyans to move on.
I'm not convinced Safcom didn't consider the backlash. Maybe they know nothing much will happen anyway. Guys will talk about moving to competition but few will actually do it.
Is number portability still there?
