*SAFARICOM UNVEILS NEW POSTPAY RATES*

* *

*August 24, 2010...*Safaricom’s PostPay customers can now call make calls at
a flat rate of Sh3 per minute.



This follows the launch of a new tariff plan for this category of
subscribers by the country’s leading telecoms operator. The rates will apply
for both on and off-net calls and will be applicable throughout.



Per second billing applies on this tariff, which takes effect starting
August 25 and is targeted at the firm’s PostPay, a key component of its 16
million-strong subscriber base.



Safaricom CEO Michael Joseph said the tariff was a way of thanking the
firm’s PostPay subscribers for their loyalty and extending to them price
concessions similar to what PrePay customers were enjoying.



“Our PostPay customers are a huge reason for our success. We thank them for
their custom and considerable spending on our network. We promise to remain
responsive to their needs and promise them a number of incentives, going
forward,” said Mr Joseph.



Earlier in the day, Safaricom had announced a value-based PrePay tariff
promotion whose main point was a Sh2 per minute calling rate on the purchase
of certain air-time denominations, the lowest level in the market currently.
