Robert,

Is this the way we expect you to reason when you become Postmaster General?

The simple point is that people make mistakes.

The second point is that even when choosing from the SIM card, you can still
make a mistake - all the way to confirmation.

The contention is that safaricom has in place a mechanism to mitigate such
mistakes, but that mechanism, for some reason, is dysfunctional, or (to be
fair) not meeting expectations!

Safaricom 100 (or even 200) sometimes doesn't work. Safaricom 0722 002222
sometimes doesn't work. All you get is the IVR playing over and over.

Please look at the problem reported keenly, so that you don't give it a
bushman's solution:-)
