I'm just wondering if Safaricom really needs to avail subscriber
numbers to me to send mass SMS's. It is common knowledge that Safaricom
has 0722..., 0723..., 0724... etc. If I have enough cash like we know
campaigners have I just send SMS's to the numbers prefixed with those
codes en masse and I'm sure I'll hit more than 60% of them. <br>

<p>Today I received a promotional sms from the "YES" campaign. Can
Safaricom explain how our phone numbers were leaked?</p>
