Hello Skunks, I have just received my daily dose of spam from the mobile networks, but this particular one failed to make it to /dev/null: "Dear subscriber, you can now send money from Zap to a Safaricon number for only Ksh 10. Go to Zap-Money-To phone number then follow the instructions. Zap Pesa Mkononi" Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? I get a notice of funds and then walk to a Zap shop to withdraw or does it go into my M-Pesa? I'd love the later:-) Okechukwu, could you please try this out for me to see? My Safaricon number is below. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
Hehehehe, Wash, this works the same way on SufferingCon, you can send money to a Zain line, and all the Zain guy has to do is go to an Mpesa shop and produce and ID and grab the cash. Expecting it to go to your mpesa account is a tall order - but may be very very nice if they can collabo. If you want us to try, ebu drop me some cash kwanza, then I can zap it back to you :-) ./Ok3ch 2009/7/8 Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com>

Strange.

One of their employees told me that they are upgrading it for bigger and better things. every time there are such delays, they pull this line on us. I think the delays come about when they try to implement changes on the main system, which bring unforeseen circumstances (and the occasional crash techies are familiar of) Its the high time they sough expertise form a company like google or facebook on how to roll out changes . this will shorten the recovery time from when the "Oh Sh*t " statement is uttered to resumption of normal coverage. Even Hauwei engaged IBM on how to do things when you start doing them big. On 09/07/2009, Phares Kariuki <pkariuki@gmail.com> wrote:
