Frustrating
January 26, 2026

My goodness replacing a line is very frustrating at this day and age surely guys. You need to do better, you have limited interactions on your helplines with customer service reps. It's like literally impossible to speak to a representative forcing someone to visit the centers. Holy moly the centers are insane specially in buruburu the queue is crazy long been here for almost 3 freaking hours just trying to replace a freaking line. What is this nonsense 🤷🏽‍

The largest coverage of telephone service in kenya and their mobile money app is simply excellent.
Their customer service is very efficient and quick to handle any questions regarding their services.

Useless
July 30, 2018

Bob Colymore took over the thievery that was initiated by his predecessor Michael Joseph. Shamelessly killing a dying economy.

I bit nonchalant
July 28, 2018

I had a bit of an unpleasant experience with one customer attendant in their physical store. Perhaps because it was the end of the day, but she was a bit rude and i was a bit offended.

Connecting Kenyans
June 21, 2018

Millions of people are just hating on Safcom and continuously trying to find issues with them.My opinion is that Safaricom is one of the most innovative and revolutionary corporations in not only Kenya but the entire East Africa. Through Safaricom, tens of millions of people are interconnected and can communicate directly at very affordable costs

Safaricom
August 8, 2016

The site is very helpful in relation to the services that Safaricom offers. But Safaricom on its own still has a long way to go in terms of providing even satisfactory service to its customers. Perhaps the decades of market dominance that it has enjoyed are what allows it to abuse the pubic the way it does, but I feel there should be a serious competitor allowed to come in to save the consumers from Safaricom's dominance. Maybe Equity might just be Safaricom's match
