Safaricom has announced a revamp of its 4G Wi-Fi proposition to reduce router prices and introduce new daily allocation packages for its home customers as an alternative to the fibre service.
Under the revamped plan, new customers will enjoy KES 4,000 off 4G Wi-Fi routers and get a free 30GB welcome bundle. All customers will also enjoy new daily allocation packages that empower customers who opt-in to receive data daily, guaranteeing connection throughout the month.
The daily allocation bundles offer 105GB (3.5GB awarded daily) for KES 2,999; 150GB (5GB awarded daily) for KES 4,100; 240GB (8GB awarded daily) for KES 6,299 and 540GB (18GB awarded daily) for KES 12,499, all at a speed of 5Mbps and with a validity of 30 days.
The reduced prices will see customers enjoy up to 40% off on routers, with Adrian routers now retailing for KES 5,999, down from KES 9,999, while Huawei routers will retail at KES 6,999 down from KES 10,999.
With Safaricom’s 4G covering over 97% of Kenya’s population, customers can enjoy 4G Wi-Fi by simply acquiring a router and sim card at any Safaricom Shop or dealer outlet. Customers can also visit internet.safaricom.co.ke or dial *400*49# to get connected.
To purchase plans or manage their accounts, customers can visit MySafaricom App, Safaricom.com or dial *400#, select option 3 - “4G Wi-Fi” and follow the prompts. Payment options include M-PESA, Post-pay or Bonga points.
4G Wi-Fi was introduced in 2019 to enable Kenyans not in fibre-ready areas to enjoy seamless internet connectivity in their homes. It compliments Safaricom’s fibre network, which has passed more than 450,000 homes and businesses.
