Mobile phone service provider, Safaricom, has unveiled lower calling rates for its subscribers that take effect from Monday.
Both PrePay and PostPay subscribers will enjoy new lower calling rates at Sh5 from 10 pm to midnight, and Sh2.50 from midnight to 6 am everyday, including weekends.
The new rate is applicable for Safaricom to Safaricom calls, and subscribers are not required to switch tariffs to enjoy this offer.
Consumer needs
Speaking at Safaricom House, the company’s CEO Michael Joseph said “this new calling offer has been introduced to respond to growing consumer needs in a fast expanding market. We have lowered our call rates to make it more affordable for our subscribers to communicate with each other.”
The cost of sending text messages will, however, remain the same.
The new move by Safaricom comes in the wake of the unveiling of the lowest cross-network charges by rival Zain whose users pay Sh8 to make calls.
