So, Safaricom is sending SMS messages to its subscribers about their Unlimited internet per month.
“Enjoy Unlimited internet using your Safaricom broadband Modem for a flat monthly fee of Ksh.999. To activate SMS 999 from your modem line to 450.”
In this message they have said nothing about the terms and conditions which are usually labeled after their offers or prices.
Thanks to ZainKenya ” Terms and Conditions” has become evil phrase in Kenya. Earlier when Safaricom launched the Ksh. 999 per month, it was loaded by the IF..Else conditions which probably required all of us to have advance mathematics knowledge.
Price Data Volume Out of Bundle Speed
Ksh. 999 300 MB 32 Kbps
Ksh. 1,999 700MB 64 Kbps
Ksh. 2,999 1 GB 128 Kbps
What the hell is this Data Volume?
What is my speed if i subscribe for Ksh. 999? How about if I pay for Ksh.1999?
Then there was that one for phones or is it still there? . They called it unlimited while the truth is, you can only access 10mb of data per day for ksh.8!
Anyway the better question is, has the above conditions changed with the new sms message they are sending to people?
Meaning of Unlimited
This is to Safaricom, if it is UNLIMITED, let it be unlimited. Meaning i can download whatever files i want from the net , upload files and generally browse without constantly worrying about the size or the Data volume or whatever they call it ….
In case someone is missing the meaning of unlimited at Safaricom i went further to the world of knowledge ..dictionary plus Google and I found the following adjectives:
1. not limited; unrestricted; unconfined.
Confirm that it is truly unlimited and i bet the masses will flock back to Safaricom modem
u r the bomb man! i also dnt understand those data volumes
i think they don`t know what is UNLIMITED am @ orange EVDO for ever
Thanks, i hope someone at Safaricom will respond to this…explanation needed ASAP
I like Orange too, I pay Ksh. 990 for one week unlimited internet and it is truly unlimited…. I guess i will be there for sometime unless …….
Safaricom are really mean on this one, so if i use up my 300mb in a day thats it, am done on my "unlimited 999 monthly offer" in a day and normal costs then apply to the unsuspecting subscriber.
Man, I agreeeeeeeeeee. Unlimited means unconditionally unlimited. Safaricom is desperately clinging to the rafters. A soon as Orange and Zain launch a true 3G service, Safaricom must shape up or pack up. That's the truth. Their marketing gimmicks are not only absurd but border on the outright criminal. Deliberate Omission of facts with the intention to defraud as they are certainly doing is definitely criminal. I can't wait for true competition to begin on the data front!
I hope http://twitter.com/#!/bobcollymore approaches the issues more sensibly. Seriously, Safaricom is just a big mockery on Kenya ISP service and monopolistic enough to greedy themselves out of the top position
