PECULIAR CELLPHONE TARRIFS!


Sometimes back when Safaricom was having network congestion issues, the MD Micheal Joseph said that it was caused by Kenyan’s ‘peculiar’ calling habits! He raised hell with that reply. And he was sure of what he was talking about.

Years later, he has been vindicated and more to that his rival at Celtel has gone a mile more.

Celtel has unveiled a tariff that has caused lips to wax lyrical in Kenya. Their latest tariff Mambo 6/- is an affront to Kenyan intelligence or they are being clever by half. The tariff’s ‘off peak’ hours for you to enjoy the ‘lowest’ charge in the country runs from 11pm to 5am. Whoever Celtel is marketing this tariff to escapes this blogger’s simple mind. When one of my friends told me about it, I was waiting for something to rival Safcom’s Saasa Tariff. How wrong I was. But trust Celtel to do the unthinkable in Kenya.

Methinks that their target market was the ‘commercial love providers’ and the pimps!
