Hi Dennis,

I haven’t tested on a feature phone yet but yeah. For a while this issue has been alternating in functionality. First it could only read through SIM contacts only then it worked on both but only on Android 2.x upto version 5.x but not above version 5. On iPhone it only searches the phone contacts.

I thinking this is a major value add that Safaricom needs to align. I know it requires for them to access phones private data stores which as per data privacy laws can be limiting as mobile devices become more secured due to global data privacy laws but I’m sure there is a solution somewhere.

I am happy to report that Safaricom went beyond my expectations and we actually have a 3 G signal. I am able to work comfortably from the location. Thanks Steve Chege and the team of engineers that you dispatched. Mnaweza kabisa. Please consider other areas in mashinani as well.
