SAFARICOM SHUT LINES FOR OVER AN HOUR.
Yesterday 8th
October 2013 all Safaricom lines were shut down as no service could be used by
the subscribers. No calls were going through as people got stranded as their
lines became of no use. Even the SMS couldn’t establish themselves. When one
made a phone call, the customer care would be heard informing of unregistered
card a fact that surprised holders. You were required to visit any safaricom
agent or visit any m-pesa agent to registered your line. It was a night of
blackout that left the sim-card holders stranded not to know what to do.
The system was later
established as services could now be enjoyed. Though the unregistered lines
remained shutdown as they required registeration. This followed after the
arrest of both the Safaricom LTD and Airtel LTD CEOs were arrested and each
charged a fine of KSHS. 50,000 for not complying with the government order of
registering all lines before the end of last year. It is believed that the
terrorist in recent Westgate attack had used some of these unregistered lines
that really has posed hard time to the government to track their calls.
