Safaricom PLC Avis 

It is affordable and the internet speeds are not too shaby. Downside is in some areas the connection is weak.

I consider the quality of service of the Internet service to be the best in Kenya and few will disagree

In this day and age, acquiring a sim card shouldn't been this frustrating. Visited your shop at green span mall 3 times. As need to replace lost sim card, was asked to join a queue at # 170 something, standing for 2 hrs. Nearly passed out and went home. Went back the following day, ticketing system was down, so waited another hour. Eventually saw an agent who with few seconds told me my old line was given to someone else. So i need to get new number. Stood in another queue to get new number. The told me system is down

come back later. Anyway went back the following day esim was registered after a long process. Travelled abroad now esim has an error "esim not provisioned". Restarted the nothing... Safaricom has to be the worst option out there!!!

Bad customer service..They have made it hard for their customers to reach them

I had one of the worst experience with Safaricom. I travelled out of the country for 5 weeks and I was put offline for 4 weeks as they couldn’t activate my esim. Added to woes the physical sim line also got disconnected and my repeated mails requesting for connection has fallen on deaf ears. They kept apologising and promising but they failed miserably.They were unable to even give me the reson for disconnection. All my banking transactions were affected because OTPs couldn’t be delivered. Problem is resolved only after coming back to Kenya. Advise is while travelling have a backup.

Poor customer service. Kept me on hold for 30 minutes three separate times without getting to speak to an agent to sort out the issue for slow speeds. They do not care about their customers.

This is for al the tourist. Safricom is your worst nightmare. They claim to be the best but they are far far from that. The company doesn't know how to give tourist a working Mpesa. I spend hours in the safricom shops and left without nothing, no working Mpesa app. Terrible. They do promises but don't keep it. They are not professional. Make sure to leave their office with a working Mpesa. Put money in the Mpesa app then you'll know if it works otherwise don't buy the simkaart.

crashing all the time and increasing the prices annually while adding no additional value

Safaricom uncouth practices. I've paid for 3 months. Last night my Internet stopped working. I had to call them over 3 times to fix the issue which I was told was due to their system update at night. They told me that my Internet will be fixed in 2 hours. I called after 5 hours and they informed me that it will be back in 30 minutes. I then had to call after an hour and to wait for a customer service rep for over 30 minutes only for her to fix in in one click and credit my account. I need reliable Internet and I don't think safaricom is it.

I pay for 30mbps fibre but they keep reducing my speed to 10mbps. I have to call them on a weekly basis to fix it but then issue returns after a couple of days. They say it’s because I have multiple devices but even when I turn off all my devices apart from 1, that single and only device consuming the internet at that time still only gets 10mbps. Their excuses do not hold up, it is simply theft.

Unreliable! Their app doesn't work. Workers are unhelpful.

Ich habe mich aus Deutschland an safaricom gewand, weil meine Handy mit der sim gestohlen wurde. Nun habe ich ein neues handy mit eSim und wollte eine eSim haben ich habe ein Bild von meinem Passport, seite mit ein und ausreisestempel, und zu guterletzt fotos von dem original sim karten halter mit der entsprechenden Telefon nummer. Nun forden sie eine von einem Notar beglaubigte Identifikation oder von der Botschaft beglaubigt. Ich finde das reichlich überzogen, weil alle wichtigen dokumente vorliegen.

Safaricom claims to be Kenya’s leading network, but when it comes to mobile data, it is hands down the worst. The connection is unreliable, speeds are frustratingly slow, and the data bundles vanish like magic. You buy 1GB, and before you even stream or browse properly, it’s gone.

Customer care doesn’t offer real solutions either — just scripted replies and empty promises. For the high prices they charge, the service is simply not worth it.

I even don’t like to give 1 star also no option Definitely not recommended!

1 star because there is no star.
Very treacherous and extortionist.
I subscribed for fixed data service which is supposed to be charged monthly, I end up being charged full monthly charge for 11 days use and an advance for anther month not mentioning that I already paid for "deposit". This is obtaining money under false pretence.
The speed they promised to offer is also a pipe dream most of the time.

I am looking for the zero star, 21 emails later and they haven't swapped my simcard for one that actually works.

TERRIBLE SERVICE.....TERRIBLE!!! SINCE BOB COLLYMORE PASSED IDK WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y'ALL BUT GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

They offer a solid service but some aspects such as costs of transactions can be high

Ah yes, the company I used to recommend without blinking.
Support tickets now feel like sending messages into the void, and now even having issues with internet renewals, things that should just work automatically.

Service uptime used to be brag-worthy. Now it’s more like a game of roulette. Will it work today? Who knows!

Please fix yourselves. Or at least let us know when the funeral is so we can pay our respects to the company you used to be.
