OK fellow volunteers, this comes up a lot in conversation, so I thought I’d mention it. Safaricom now offers an unlimited Internet package, which everyone’s been waiting for. It’s 200 shillings… per day. That’s a lot if you do it every day, but it’s not so bad if you just use it every now and then for Internet splurging with downloads and video Skyping. Just send a blank SMS to 555 to activate. For some reason this info isn’t on their website, but they spammed me with an SMS ad telling me so. Enjoy!

And that’s a big chunk of change if you do use the Internet everyday. I think it’s still cheaper for me to pay 2500 for a GB and use it over a few months. (Actually, I know — I did the math: 2500 < 6000)
Is it possible to turn it on and off by the day?
I think so – it just withdraws a single day’s amount each time you activate it, so maybe you could buy a smaller 90-day bundle and use the unlimited on days you want to go crazy with Windows/antivirus/Linux updates.

Just tried for the first time and it seems to me that it’s throttled. In other words, if you actually want to make serious use of it the were gonna make sure everything gets real slow (64k right now).
So here I am looking to have a nice Sunday using lots of internet. Go to safaricom’s website to learn how to use this new unlimited one day plan…No luck go to google search “safaricom unlimited internet” and here I am thanks Paul!
Yeah, but the bad news is that it was a limited time offer (apparently). I tried it from Lamu and it said thanks but no thanks. Not sure what they’re up to…
Whichever way, safaricon is still very expensive to use. I will never recommend it to any1.
