They gave us wrong information. That we only needed to pay 2999 and the 1st month of internet is sorted. Two months in, they disconnect our internet(yet it was paid for) and said we have a balance. It... See more

It's become impossible to get help by human help. The recorded help goes nowhere. Data and airtime bought by clients goes only half the journey. Thieves and sluggards is what it looks like.

I dont recommend this company at all.

This company has made my life incredibly difficult. I’ve emailed them multiple times and called customer service, but it feels like they just don’t care. The network goes down for hours, and when it finally works, it freezes or cuts out every other minute. It’s been so frustrating that I had to switch my phone number to for my work already without even realizing the hassle it would cause, and now I’m stuck between two services that aren’t working properly.

I could give them minus 10

I could give them minus 10, as they are a horrible organisation, enablers of human rights abuses, abductions and today harassing competitors like Starlink. Using them is enabling despotism and disappearances in Kenya

If had to give them a negative rate I would. This is a scam company, the largest but operated by thieves. They store my money blocked my sim card with no notice and my money was blocked. They asking me to certify my documents through Kenya embassy that I do not have any where close to where I live. Keep the money and I hope it helps you.

Safaricom Deteriorating By the Day - Anyone Agree With Me?

Since Ndegwa took over Safaricom, their services are deteriorating by the day. It first started with the customer support service. Followed by frequent outages of MPESA payment services. Withdrawals from PayPal have become worse. If Equity could actualize their instant withdrawal feature, Safaricom will significantly lose out. Whoever said it should be headed by a Kenyan was absolutely wrong.

Phone number, money blocked

We came to Kenya and immediately bought safari com sim cards. We loaded up on internet and mpesa mobile money. Same day my phone was blocked. I didn't have access to my phone, internet and money for 5 days (due to travel and holiday schedule). As it turned out some company gives credit through safari com and they can block your phone but they don't have live information about phone numbers so they blocked me because someone else owed them money. Safari didn't offer anything to make this right
