So i was just having a look at the safaricom site for the different tariffs that they offer and one doesnt really make sense. I thought the whole idea behind having going the postpaid route (safaricom advantage) was so that business users who make many calls in any given day would benefit from the plan. Facts: - Ongea tariff: sh8/min to saf; sh15/min - advantage (individual) sh7/min to saf; sh14/min to others (with monthly access fee ≈ 250) - advantage (corporate) sh10/min to saf; sh14/min to others (with monthly access fee ≈ 690) So exactly how is this a deal for corporate clients and why on earth would anybody go with the advantage option? At best you'll probably end up saving a couple of shillings a day than if you'd gone the prepaid route and this will probably be offset by the monthly access fee. In some cases you (the advantage client) might probably even end up paying more assuming the number of calls you make arent significantly more than those of the pre-paying customer. <rant> And who the hell designed the safcom site?? Dont they know that page titles serve a purpose? It's really annoying when typing a url to a previously visited page in the hopes of accessing it quickly only to realize that all urls are page ids (e.g index.php?id=xx) and the page title is a whole paragraph of useless blob that has nothing to do with the page! </rant> -Billy
