Safaricom The Better Option Braves On Despite Multiple Downtimes As It Prepares To Announce Its Profits

Lately i have noticed some flows in my favorite network Safaricom. I tried calling my number several times but it was not going through. I called customer service at 100 and was advised that my number had diverts and if i would want them removed. Of course i agreed because in this age and time no on wants to be mteja. Not after entering a dozen competitions and waiting for that magical call telling you
that you are the lucky winner of one million grand prize! I have had that dream a million times.
Anyway,even after the diverts were removed i still continued to experience the same problem.
I remember even trying to load my favourite bamba five so that i can use safaricoms Internet to check my facebook and it kept on failing.
As safaricom announces its financial results,its amid these challenges.With fifteen million subscribers and with price war raging on,where zain and Yu are eying the subscriber,safaricom the better option will really have to be the best option.
Basically Safaricom has it all figured out. They have the best services so far and understand the mobile telephony market inside out. How else do you explain getting a loan you repay at ten percent interest. That is what Okoa Jahazi does to you but despite that the service has continued to enjoy a favorable popularity.
The latest partnership between Safaricom and Equity bank on M-kesho is another first class service by my one and only network and soon my dividends will be deposited straight to my M-kesho account sited at my phone.
Well,so much bla bla about my thoughts on the downtimes,price wars acquisitions and counter acquisitions of my beloved network,what are your thoughts? Comment and maybe we can agree to disagree.http://ring-tonescraze.blogspot.com
This just in.......Safaricom has reported a pretax profit of 20.9 billion even amid cut throat competition.There you have it.Safaricom is indeed the best option.
