Tariff Battles, Zain should Quit
Orange have just introduced a new tariff, 4 shillings on-network (to Telkom Fixed, Telkom Wireless and Orange Mobile) and 8 shillings to any other network. Yu has a flat rate of 7.50 to all other networks. Zain increased their extranetwork charges to 12 shillings. Now, Safaricom can afford to be arrogant because, if you are on Safaricom you are calling 80% on network, hence saving. The other operators have to keep call rates low to other networks. Somehow, Zain pioneered this model and is really taking a beating because of the same... Anyway, it keeps getting interesting. -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki@gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares |
Hi All, @8/= on Vuka to all other networks, I didn't care and could call, but once they started charging 12/=, I re-vuka to Sufferigcom.... Should'd I YU-VukaTena?
@ Clement, don't just start contemplating on U-Vuka yet, lest you end being a mobile K-Street kind stuff. The problem with this trend of lowering tarrifs especially on Orange is, in my opinion, going to get interesting. Imagine what would happen if YU lowered the rates. The break-even will be to the advantage of Safcon, who go smiling all the way to the bank! On 24/06/2009, Clement Ongera <cnongera@gmail.com> wrote:

Number portability was long buried and tied to some heavy iron, because someone fears he might be out of business. Maybe pressuring the govt through Dr. Ndemo will yield some results. On 24/06/2009, David Njuki <njukey@gmail.com> wrote:
