Doing Business in KenyaMobile Phone Network ServicesDoing Business in Kenya nowadays is quite efficient with the introduction of mobile service providers. I remember when Safaricom first came to the country. They took us all by storm. Finally, we could enjoy the services we used to enjoy in countries like England. 
However, unlike Europe and America, most customers are on pre-paid tariffs - Pay As You Go. Business customers can apply for post paid billing which actually has cheaper tariffs.
For post paid, you can get even credit of Ksh 40! But initially, when Safaricom started in Kenya, the sim card was Ksh2500 and the cheapest top -up was Ksh 250. The sim card is now free as mentioned previously, the cheapest top up is Ksh 40. You can get your sim card and airtime from many dealers around the city. All you need to look out for is their sign.

Zain has changed names so many times. When it first hit the market, they were trading under the name Kencell. They changed to Celtel and now they are trading under the name Zain. 
Though they have cheaper tariffs, their services and network is not comparable to Safaricom.
Also, unlike Safaricom which is now Kenya's most profitable company, Zain has had its fair share of troubled trading - thus the change of ownership and trading names.
Zain has pre-paid and post paid options. Look out for the different names given to each tariff. Calls cost from as little as Ksh 3 off peak to as much as Ksh 49 - peak time. For more about Zain and their tariffs - visit Zain Website for more information.
