<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">This sound just too familiar to me! I had
a similar experience last week on Friday.� I had enough money on my
Safaricom line; I used it to connect to the Internet (from my computer via blue
tooth) to download my email to Outlook.� After disconnecting, I still had
over KES 100 worth of credit but I could not even send a text message.� I kept
receiving �� you have insufficient�� message.� I was
forced to purchase more airtime in order to continue using my phone.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I indeed confirm that THERE IS A PROBLEM!</span></font></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br>
Indeed,� back in October, I put 500 bob on my phone in order to get the 100 MB as advertised in the flyer that Safcom has been handing out. I sent an SMS "activate" to 443, I got a confirmation message, but when I used Gmail and other net services, it ate the subsequent topups, and not the 100MB.� I went to Safcom at Westgate (very helpful folks BTW, the best informed shop in the network IMO).� They promised someone would get back to me.� No love.� I went back again left my number as the guy who had previously helped me was busy. I did get a follow up call, which was promptly dropped by the network.<br>
<br>Perhaps the issue is that this package isn't meant for phones, but for USB modems?� If not, how does one get a "Safaricom Broadband" icon on your phone so that one can follow the instructions on the flyer?<br>
