[kictanet] Expensive Airtel?

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hi Edith,

Do it like a Standard 1 kid would:
1. Load 50bob airtime
2. Set phone to show phone duration
3. Make a call lasting N minutes
4. Check airtime balance after the call.

Do the same on your Safaricom/Yu/Orange Tarrif.

Show the comparison.

Ditto for data. Buy bundle. Download the same file on 3 different networks.
Check bundle balance.

Tabulate and show us how they compare:-)
