Try loading with Kes. 100 and send to 450. I have found that the bundles are maintained but you sort of need to activate after the expiry period. I have on two occassions loaded using kes 100 and the bundles worth 100 are added to what had not used. Or maybe I was just lucky...also try calling 100, follow prompts and unfortunately I cant remember which one gets you to a customer service rep, but it is worth trying. <BR><BR>
I feel your frustrations. <BR>

<DIV>Dear Listers,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>now that we are on Safaricom issues, allow me to ventilate. I bought 1.5GB of bundles worth 999 kshs 2 months ago, which was supposed to expire after one month. My bundles ran out in 2 weeks and on checking the statistics, found that i had only used up 750MB. My efforts to get assistance on this from safaricom have yielded nothing. the best i could get was "call 200 for assistance". 2 months later am yet to get through..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is just one of the many frustrations from safaricom</DIV>

Spot on. I wonder whose interests CCK champions because it is clearly not the consumer or public. Bad combination of the Kenya Police and KRA!<BR><BR><BR><BR>

<TD vAlign=top>Edith,<BR><BR>Asking CCK to touch some players in the name of consumers is seeking too much. The regulator stopped bothering about consumer issues long ago. The focus is now strictly on license fees. Theirs is a tale of a referee who turns up to officiate a match without a whistle.

<DIV>Subject: Re: [kictanet] Safaricom daily bundles<BR><BR>Dear all,<BR><BR>This is not just a recent thing. A couple of months ago I subscribed to their daily Internet service as I occasionally, particularly when in traffic, use my phone to check email etc. I then tried to unsubscribe when traveling out of the country but could not. Every time I tried, the message was the service is down and that I should try later. When I called their customer service, they told me I should do it myself. It was not about two weeks later, when I was actually out of the country, that I managed to unsubscribe. Unfortunately, I had by that time run out of credit. I thought I was being defrauded. I hope Safaricom is not doing this intentionally.<BR><BR>George<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>> Robert,<BR>><BR>> You're not alone!
