Last month I posted how annoying it is when Safcom automatically deducts airtime when the net bundle runs out. I'm pleased to say that they did send an SMS this time. Infact 2 SMS, when I went below 1MB and when it ran out. Thot it's worth sayin this in the list, the good and the bad, fair game! 8~)

Quite a rare post recommending effort in fixing an issue, we are good and quick to complain, but we never mention when its fixed

As much as we make noise about Safaricom, we probably cant live without it. David. On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

If we could, we wouldn't be making the noise in the first place! Now, Safaricom Fiber Links are down allover - that is what they have told me - to an extent that ALL calls to Business Support are diverted to IVR. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

In the recently concluded East Africa Com conference, some executive from a leading telco in Uganda told me the region sees Safaricom as a world class provider, and that Kenya should nurture it like the USA does to Microsoft even when it's been hammered in other countries

Dennis, Very true. Unfortunately when one Osotsi talks, people think im a Safaricom sycophant. We think people that speak straight are influenced! Lets nurture the Equities, Safaricoms, PesaPals and so on. Thats our national pride when we are out there. Or we rather be proud of the Ruto's, Raila's or Kibaki's that flip flop at every turn? Lets protect and nurture our own. Peter On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 10:51 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

And I agree. Thank you safaricom for the better/bitter option. It's better than no option. Thank you for Mpesa. Thank you for fast internet (if you have the cash. It's business not donation). Thank you for your CSR. Thank you for IDEOS. :) Regards.
Dennis,

Oke, Think about the ordinary Kenyans that can't afford VSAT, think about getting extremely slow connection on YU/Orange/Airtel, (despite all suggestions on Skunkworks, my Idiot has never really worked on Airtel internet!!!). Numbers don't lie - at 78% of total mobile connections, SFC is hot! Think about safaricom, fast, uniform speeds, certainly the better if not the bestiest option. Sfc have very many plans and options for accessing your internet whether office via fiber or 3g router, cyber via wimax or fiber, on fone (on your idiot, ipad, iphone etc), at home via Wimax or fiber and basically anywhere else via sat. If you have Ipad, you neednt chop your sim, just buy microsim. Lets give credit where its due! Saf (naa, Man United) for life.

I haven't discredited SufferingCon, I just choose not to be on the network & since I can afford all the connections, then I have them. Sorry for those who can't make the same choices as me, but that should not make me make those choices :-) ./Ok3ch On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Peter Osotsi <peter.osotsi@gmail.com> wrote:
