Hehe.... what phone are you using? had a similar problem with my blackberry, when you call customer care they ask you to remove the battery and retry...still doesnt work...they will promise to call you and nothing will happen...the problem will go away after you get used to it!

I have experienced the same will calling. With enough credit to make a call I get "your balance is below the minimum threshold". Tried many times until it went through.
That was one of the reasons I jumped ship and whent to Zain. Zain is better but you get such issues once in a long while. All these networks have their own problems. On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 5:17 PM, James Mutuku <listmutuku@gmail.com> wrote:

Lately, I find it easier to reach Safcom numbers from my Zain line -- Safcom-to-Safcom just drops the call before it even goes through.... <frustrating ! ! !> On 5/27/09, Job Njogu <jnjogu@gmail.com> wrote:

Mostly happens if you interchange country codes. For those of us who travel in the region alot and we save the phone numbers in the international format. Instead of Kenya's 254 you find that you put 256 for UG and so it will tell you that instead of telling you that the number is unavaileable or is wrong. But it might go through. You know there are 077 in Tanzania, UG and Kenya and so all codes works. 0713/14/15 is also in Tz and Kenya. 073 also the same. So try checking the country code or simply add some small credit like 20 bob to wake up the systems On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 2:58 PM, Mbugua Njihia <mbugua@symbiotic.co.ke>wrote:

This mostly happens when making calls, try and check if you have some background services running, mostly web based say you have set up automatic synchronization of contacts, automatic updates etc, then you are more likely to encounter this (open for correction) but i realized this after a while.

I do not work for safcom BUT this can happen when there are background chargable(data) services/updates--which reserves all the money for a normal SMS setup. This is very normal BUT rare occurence for prepaid charging. On 5/27/09, Mbugua Njihia <mbugua@symbiotic.co.ke> wrote:

Same thing happens to me, only with a less amount of money/airtime but none the less airtime anyway... In my experience it happens when you have background services running e.g a minimised browers say opera..or if you have set up email especiallly with the autocheck with a small check interval.. It helps to restsrt the phone and/or stop the running services... --my two cents worth. On 6/3/09, Andrew Wafula <awafula@gmail.com> wrote:
