PostPay customers can now call make calls at a flat rate of Sh3 per minute. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB">“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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB">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.</span></p>
