Tryin to understand Safcom's 8/= daily unlimited internet

Interesting offer but I have the following questions: 1. What happens if one has an internet bundle currently active? 2. Is it really UNLIMITED internet download capacity? 3. This blog says it's for mobile phones only: http://blog.majibu.com/safaricoms-new-offer-8-shillings-a-day-unlimited-inte... 4. Someone told me they signed up for it, *544# but they were charged about KSH.12 for something they downloaded: However the person didn't get a notification on whether they had successfully registered, so ... o_O?

Safaricom are very original in a crafty way...they are the ruthless business model like Rangers restaurant..for 700 bob you eat all the nyama choma you can take. 700 bob is like 3kgs of meat...nani atamaliza hiyo. 8/= all day can only be exhausted by high school kids! Safarico, i admire you, though thats not very ethical:) On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 8:59 AM, wesley kirinya <kiriinya2000@yahoo.com>wrote:

If I understood correctly, it's 8sh for 10MB per day, via your Opera Mini browser. Once the 10MB is over, your bundle continues, once your bundle is over, your airtime continues Brian On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 9:05 AM, nyarotho kennedy <kenyarotho@gmail.com>wrote:

Why not go for Orange ksh. 1 bob per MB -- and forget all these games of Unlimited and Limited ???

By any stretch of imagination, Safaricom's offer is not unlimited, the devil is in the details. Like they say, advertising is deceiving without lying. Its only for the first 10MB then you have to pay for any extra MB so 'unlimited' is obviously misleading, almost unethical advertising Basically, the large print giveth, the small print taketh away On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 9:57 PM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:
