<p dir="ltr">Listers it seems that airtel staff are under real pressure to convert clients to airtel money.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So yesterday a lady named Ashley called saying she is from Airtel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is the way the conversation went.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ashley: Good afternoon sir, your line is not registered. You have 24 hrs to do so otherwise it will get disconnected.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Me: My line is registered. I bought it at the customer care centre on kiinange street. I even brought a copy of my ID.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ashley: the line is not registered. Please give me you full names, address and ID no. Otherwise we disconnect within 24 hrs</p>
<p dir="ltr">Me: no way I am giving those details over the phone. And why now after all those months?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ashley: if you dont your line will be disconnected.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Me: I will go to customer care centre then. Bye and have a nice day.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">I hung up and after 24 hrs called customer care. After a bit of back and forth it turned that Airtel staff are telling people that according to CAK regulations you have to register for mobile money (airtel money). With a department that has been tasked to contact people to do that.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether this just the short cut taken by one individual or official position ????</p>
<p dir="ltr">The struggle it seems is very real...</p>
