And I wonder what they do with the airtime! Do they resell it?

It’s optional, you can choose to stay with your airtime.Just like using the services of a shylock, it’s your problems that take you there.

In short airtime is now legal tender…a super great innovation! With time that 25%commision is bound to reduce as many entrants get into the market in addition I am sure if it becomes very popular safcon will try to get a way effing this

I think they buy data in bulk and resell it in tiny amounts for more profit. After safaricon imposed a cap on the amount of data one line can buy, they must have tens of lines to bypass that problem.

I get that and I understand that no one is forced to use their services, but if you are going to base your business on the shylock model, it means you are not thinking long term. This is a market that can be disrupted very easily. Can you imagine what would happen to these guys if safaricom suddenly decided to enter this market?
Airtel is still paying for kencell"s arrogance.

Great idea, i was looking for this for a long time, at least that 25% is manageable to me.

Reselling airtime is not a problem…they can easily do this at a discounted rate from the 25% commission they are charging… great ideas do not have to be complicated

I also believe they resell. But Safaricom airtime has expiry date, doesn’t it? And more so if it has been loaded on a line. So if your airtime is expiring by midnight…

and its legit its owned by a dude called raini he was one of the biggest data sellers before safaricom slashed the transfer limit nigga used to make a killing
