Hi all,

I'm looking at their website and I don't understand.

There is no prices at all. It looks like it's prepaid only but it's not very clear. Can I have a safaricom line straight from the beginning (which means before I get the residency visa) ?

Does anyone know more about safaricom ?

Thanks.

JF
PS : arriving in Kenya in december.

Hi Jief,

You can have a safaricom line as soon as you arrive. I recommend that you get one as soon as you can and activate your mpesa ( mobile money). You will need your original passport to setup your sim and mpesa. You can also checkout my article on recommendations on getting settled in Nairobi.

Hi,
What I wanted to know is how does it work, contractwise and pricewise ?
Prepaid ? Postpaid ? What can you have for what price ?

The majority of people have a prepaid line. Data and airtime is cheap in Nairobi.
On a prepaid line i spend 2000 kes on airtime and data and majority of coffee shops, restaurants, malls have wifi.
I am not too knowledgeable on postpaid but you can start off with prepaid line. Getting this setup is easy don't sweat it!
