@ndungu, handshakes takes about 75% of data, while actual internet data delivered or sent is 5-15% Is there a way of validating this? As far as I know, "handshake" (a.k.a control plane) is not even remotely comparable to data(user plane)...the handshakes hardly make a 10 bytes(and even that is an exaggeration), way before the billing system gets wind of your existence.. ./bernard On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 12:58 PM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>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
