For the same amount of money, you get loads more goodies compared to Safaricom and Airtel Kenya. However, the Achilles heel of this carrier has got to be coverage. A quick scroll through Telkom Kenya’s Twitter feed will show you exactly where the issue is. If you happen to live in one of the few places where Telkom Kenya’s coverage is acceptable, here’s what you could be getting for your money.
WeKENData Offer
This is a Weekend only Bundle. The offer has two bundles in place: 1.5 GB for KES 70 and 3.5 GB for KES 120. Both bundles can be purchased on a Saturday or Sunday. Both packages are valid from the time of purchase till midnight, and cannot be rolled over to the following weekend. Telkom speeds have been getting better in the last couple of weeks, especially in Nairobi where LTE is basically everywhere. This bundle will no doubt make someone’s weekend.
Daily Bundles
Telkom’s Daily bundles are by far the most generous of all the carriers we have today. I find myself using the 2GB bundle a lot lately. The additional 2GB Night Data that is active from midnight to 6 am also comes in handy when I have heavy downloads that I need done overnight.
Monthly Bundles
Take a look at these offers and show me a better deal in the country.
Bonuses
Telkom Kenya also offers users tones of bonuses whenever they top up airtime using M-PESA. It was a pleasant surprise when I ran out of bundles (because I was being extravagant obviously), and went to check my balance, only to note that I have over an hour of accrued free talk time, hundreds in bonus airtime, all with expiry dates months away. Competition is a healthy habit because in the end, the customer benefits. We can only hope to see even better deals from more telecoms in the future.
