Safaricom customers are set to enjoy reduced postpay prices for airtime and data after the company announced the revamping of its monthly plans.
According to the revised PostPay and All-in-One plan, the Go Monthly 1K plan goes for Kes 1,000, down from Kes 1,050.
The 2K plan will go for Kes 2,000, down from Kes 2,100; the 3K plan will go for Kes 3,000, down from Kes 3,150.
Further, the 5K plan will go for Kes 5,000, down from Kes 5,200, while the 10K plan will go for Kes 10,000, down from Kes 10,430.
Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa said in a statement on Monday that the company is reversing a price increase implemented in July 2021 following the adjustment of excise duty on airtime and telephone services from 15 per cent to 20 per cent.
Ndegwa said they seek to simplify their product offering while enabling customers to enjoy a digital lifestyle in an affordable manner by consolidating the monthly plans.
In addition, all Go Monthly customers will enjoy free 2GB of YouTube every month.
While customers on the 5k and 10k plans will enjoy unlimited data capped at 45GB and 100GB, respectively, after which they will browse at 3Mbps speeds.
Ndegwa also noted that Go Monthly customers can use their minutes to call across all local networks as well as China, India, USA, and Canada.
"As part of the revamp, the plans will have a validity of 30 days, and only data will roll over upon renewal of PostPay or purchase of another monthly bundle," he added.
From as low as Kes 500 per month, customers who prefer only minutes or internet can also enjoy the minutes or data-only Go Monthly plans.
The CEO said the company is also planning to introduce a device bundling option that will enable Go Monthly customers to acquire 4G and 5G smartphones via a monthly repayment plan, including data, voice and SMS bundles.
Customers can join PostPay or access all available Go Monthly plans via MySafaricom App, Safaricom.com and USSD *544#.
