I am curious as to how else Safaricom manage the risk of
their Okoa Jahazi service apart from the users having been on the networks say
for certain time X having spent an average of amount T per month.
My take...
Look at it this way:
Is it possible that
SCENARIO 1: A new customer on their network can buy a new SIM card (KES 50?), activate it (KES 50 or how much is it?), Okoa Jahazi with it then throw it away? Not quite practical.
SCENARIO 2: An existing user on their network can Okoa Jahazi, then throw away their SIM card to go and buy a new SIM card in order to evade paying the KES 50? No.
So I am almost inclined to think that the only time they may lose is when one Okoa's Jahazi then dies! Now that is not quite frequent!
