Mpost —a service that turns mobile phones into formal postal addresses— has increased its annual subscription fees by up to 23 times effective July 5, in response to high operating costs.
Under the new charges approved by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), companies subscribing to the service, which was launched in 2016 in partnership with the Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK), will now pay an annual fee of Sh9,450, up from Sh400, while individual subscribers will pay Sh2,000, up from Sh400.
