@Tony, yes weird charges (SOMETIMES) and when you complain your bill wont come in on time (to give you time to forget the issue), come next bill same old same old. at one point the charged me for calls to customer care which they say is free!!! and some SMSs to weird numbers. If you are on blackberry you will find additional charges like 'GPRS access' whereas you pay an all in one BIS access fee!!!

Hi folks,

Anyone with experiences on the Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Airtel post paid scheme? I'm seeking to enroll on a personal post paid plan; primarily for voice use. I occasionally roam and data access is simply for light use browsing.

I have received one nasty evaluation from a colleague on the same; citing weird charges & unaccounted for bill items. I need a couple more reviews to decide whether to enroll or not.

PS: Limit the discussion to Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Airtel only.

Tony.

@Daudi, nice pics of the racks and switches. :-) I see some racks dedicated to sat/dvb receivers. Maybe @Riyaz would care to comment if the single cable rollout for triple play has come into the market?

Rgds.

I appreciate the responses so far, keep them coming.

@Ken, the discrepancies; are they something to make me dash to the nearest railway line? What's the worst % of the expected bill you've ever experienced?

Any nasty surprises like being enrolled to club 20 without consent? Getting billed for promotional SMS while roaming/on one network? A standing monthly charge on top of the bill while roaming? Denial of service after some usage cap, despite being reasonably well below the deposit?
