Great news: Buy Kenyan airtime online at a discount!

Enjoying the online purchase of airtime

Finally, we can buy Kenyan airtime online at discounted prices. Check out the brand new website http://www.airtime.co.ke. It's not a flashy site, but it works, and the airtime is cheap. The airtime actually comes with a discount of 2%, so 100 bob of airtime will only cost you 98 bob. That leaves you with 2 bob to buy a sweet. If you buy 1,000 bob of airtime, you save 20 bob, and you can buy a soda with that.

All you need is a VISA credit or debit card. You simply need to select a product (they do have Safaricom, Zain, Yu and Orange airtime with denominations as small as 100 bob), add it to your cart, and checkout. The PIN delivery is automated and instant upon successful payment.





Saving money online

Apart from the obvious conveniences of such a site in Kenya, I guess this site will also become popular with Kenyans in the diaspora and could provide some stiff competition for sites such as MamaMikes and Babawatoto; e-commerce sites where airtime vouchers are some of the most popular items but currently come at a 15-20% price premium. So the savings for Kenyans in the diaspora will be a lot bigger than just a sweet or a soda.

Mobile phone operators may also make online credit/debit card purchases of airtime possible in the near future, as is the case in several other countries across the world.

What do you think? Does this new site have the potential to become a success?Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/Zain

Celtel / Zain vs. Safaricom

This morning, I received the following sms: "A wonderful world coming your way on August 1st 2008. Stay connected." Then I checked the sender of this stupid message. Sender: 254733100111. Oh, so this must be coming from Celtel. This must have something to do with the launch of their Zain brand.

Also this morning, I received an invitation from Safaricom: "Come Experience Safaricom's Open Day". Saturday August 2nd to Sunday 3rd 2008. Venue: Westlands Car Park (next to Pizza Garden). Time: 10:00am - 5:00 pm, Entry: FREE. It is probably not a coincidence that Safaricom organizes this at the time that Celtel is launching its Zain brand, so competition seems to be heating up again. But Safaricom should have realized that this is actually an Open Week-End rather than an Open Day... A day usually just lasts a day, while a week-end is usually two days. Saturday August 2nd to Sunday 3rd 2008 is in fact a week-end!Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/Zain
