Since you get a text confirming successful conversion to bundle, you have nothing on them legally because in this case you did not get it. Their only sin is it took them forever to convert.

Because this does happen once in a while, the system should probably reject and prompt you to try again later instead of accepting and delaying the conversion process.

The way I see it solder, lick you wounds and match on.

Last evening I loaded KES 2,300 worth of credit on a Safaricom data line (0720 332211) and sent an sms to 446 to purchase a 300MB bundle.
With their br0ken systems (the whole of yesterday) they could not allocate me the bundle, even though they promptly deducted the KES 999. Because I could not get the confirmation of bundle allocation (CS kept telling me to wait for 20, 30, N minutes for the confirmation to come) I decided to just plugin the SIM card and use it, hoping the bundle had been allocated but only the confirmation sms was delayed.

I ended up using KES 800 of my airtime, instead of the bundle!!

The whole of yesterday their system was broken down. I suffered the same during the day. I loaded 2500 and sent "activate" to 448 for a 1GB Bundle. Stupid me. I had to buy 500 and top up and just use it like that.

Is there a way for redress with Safaricom?  They've stolen from me, buy deducting my KES 999 and not allocating me the bundle, making me to use my reserved airtime instead!
