I'm trying to call safcon number from an airtel line and all i get is that the call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number then try again. Am i missing something?

@tony yesterday i was calling the same numbers without a hitch, today its a different story. Adding the +254 and removing the leading zero in the ordinary 072x doesn't make any difference. On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Tony Likhanga <tlikhanga@gmail.com> wrote:

From experience, +254XXXXXXXXX and 254XXXXXXXXX are not treated the same by a number of Mobile Service Operators.

I am experiencing the same glitch. To all my safcom contacts. I even called my own safcom line and could not get through yet from my safcom to airtel it came through. Have a great day! Warm regards, Amarjit Singh Labhuram. On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 12:51 PM, Anthony Lenya <tlensya@gmail.com> wrote:
