Last evening I loaded KES 2,300 worth of credit on a Safaricom data line (0720 332211) and sent an sms to 446 to purchase a 300MB bundle. With their br0ken systems (the whole of yesterday) they could not allocate me the bundle, even though they promptly deducted the KES 999. Because I could not get the confirmation of bundle allocation (CS kept telling me to wait for 20, 30, N minutes for the confirmation to come) I decided to just plugin the SIM card and use it, hoping the bundle had been allocated but only the confirmation sms was delayed. I ended up using KES 800 of my airtime, instead of the bundle!! The whole of yesterday their system was broken down. I suffered the same during the day. I loaded 2500 and sent "activate" to 448 for a 1GB Bundle. Stupid me. I had to buy 500 and top up and just use it like that. Is there a way for redress with Safaricom? They've stolen from me, buy deducting my KES 999 and not allocating me the bundle, making me to use my reserved airtime instead! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

@Jared - if I bought a crate of beer from EABL and found all the bottles half empty you can get I would bash them....
But having said that....our service providers/operators really need to style up and give us value for the money we have already paid them.

Boss, Just talk to Sovaya, they will give you a good link on your location at 3k a month and you never need to have those pains again. Unless you are mobile , if you have a permanent location please dont pay so much you can get good services for less. I had similar problems till i did the big switch... call Kelly on 0722747593 and your problems will be solved. regards Oliver On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 5:31 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

@Odhiambo, The same happened to me last Friday. I topped up the 250 bundle and waited and waited. Then I thought that maybe it had activated but the sms was delaying. I ended up using the credit left on the SIM card. Frustratingly I called customer care(very busy number), and when I got hold of one, they admit there is a problem and that they'll look for my transaction and then nothing. Now I was bila net the whole weekend(actually I swiped my card with yu) thinking that there was a problem with Safcom. Imagine I've never been refunded that bundle or the cash just coz I can't get through the customer care "Bouncer" lines. Currently I am still afraid to buy a bundle. Damn Big Corporates!
If we are not bashing Accesskenya or KDN, then it is Safaricom. Can someone bash EABL please,

--- Since you get a text confirming successful conversion to bundle, you have nothing on them legally because in this case you did not get it. Their only sin is it took them forever to convert. Because this does happen once in a while, the system should probably reject and prompt you to try again later instead of accepting and delaying the conversion process. The way I see it solder, lick you wounds and match on. ---- On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 1:45 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
