hi, Is it that M-PESA charges KES 1.00 for every balance check? I just noted that my balance decreases by a bob every time I do a query. What if the balance is ZERO ? Regards, T. Barua.
Yes it does, its so clear in all fee fliers from safaricom. David. On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 11:57 AM, Tuma Barua <tumabarua@gmail.com> wrote:

They will rectify this, I am sure, if it doesn't debit your account already, though I suspect it should generate some funny error. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Yes, M_Pesa and Zap charge one shilling for every balance check.
What if the balance is ZERO ?
With M-Pesa and Zap, the response will be an errror! Methinks

Hi, That is why they tell you terms and conditions apply and you sign that you have read them including the cost of getting the balance, so what i usually do to get my balance i send a higher amount to somebody like 70k when i know i have around 5k so they will tell me you have this amt and you cannot send to this person this amt.. cheers On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 12:02 PM, Solomon Mburu Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com>wrote:

For those of us who do not care to give safaricom an extra shilling, we usually do an ATM withdrawal procedure which responds with your balance at the end of the message. You can also try sending money to someone with a figure higher than you have. For instance, if you know you are in the ranges of 6k, send 30k. It will just tell you you do not have enough balance, your balance is.... David. On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 12:14 PM, Thomas Kibui <thomas.kibui@gmail.com>wrote:
