@John... 1. My problem was that Ksh. 16 was stolen from me (this is a lot of money for some of us because every shilling and cent counts). 2. My first aim for posting (at night) was so that other skunks and skunkettes can think twice before connecting between 11pm and 11 am, thinking that they are surfing for "FREE". 3. My second aim was to seek closure by broadcasting my predicament. That is better than bottling it up and letting it eat you from within. That can lead to ulcers and other maladies. 4. My third aim was to let $afaricon know that there is something very wrong if they can advertise a "FREE" offer and "forget" to activate it and even forget to tell their customer support that there is a "FREE" offer going on. Basically, that is called killing 4 birds with one skunk fart:-) Timo. On 5/26/11, Space-Networks <signal@space.co.ke> wrote:

Guys, we have come to a conclusion that there is something wrong with the Safaricom data billing system...
Just the other day, i bought a 25mb bundle for 20/- ; then I got into Google-maps on iPhone to navigate from Nakumatt Junction to a road after Nakumatt Prestige called Kabarnet Rd..
And guess what, even after the map had loaded, and I was just staring at the blue dot - my 20mb got finished before I arrived at destination - which is quite odd.
Conclusion: I suspect that Safaricom charges for data handshake between the phone and the data core system; whereas they are supposed to charge for the actual payload received from the internet ::
Which in a math chart, handshakes takes about 75% of data, while actual internet data delivered or sent is 5-15%:: be wary !!!
Try Orange data service et al
