Safaricom has introduced a new voice and data tariff that will cut peak time call costs by a third - or Sh1.44 a minute - and also give subscribers a chance to buy internet bundles without expiry date in changes aimed at curbing rival Airtel’s market share growth.
The telecoms operator said Wednesday that subscribers opting for the no-expiry tariff plan will get an extra 50 percent airtime, an offer that will considerably lower the cost of talk time.
