Na nini kinakufanya ufikirie Kenya hatuwezi chagua.
We have Airtel, Orange na Equitel. They offer much cheaper services than Safaricom.
Bongo unajichagulia upendacho
Leo Halotel kwenya Data hata polini full kasi
Ni watu wa ku-exxagerate mambo...hamna kampuni itakayoipa shida Halotel in the region kwenye data! So far is the fastest growing as the newest entrant na niko sure in 2 years time itakuwa na market share ya double digits i.e. over 10% considering the massive infrastructure they r constructing.
Inconvenience comes with poor infrastructure from other providers, a situation that is non existent as none of the companies is above a 33% market share! Don't let ur Kenyan ego deceive u! Though Mpesa was piloted in Kenya, u pay higher Mpesa charges than Tanzania since Safaricom at nearly 80% market share control can choose to overcharge u! In Dar there's Tigopesa that grows faster aside Easypesa, Airtel money and Halopesa. The first 3 coming from strong competitors!We have many choices. Orange na Airtel wako na much better voice and internet packages than Safaricom.
There was a time YU was offering free calls.. Literally ZERO charges all round.
Airtel money nayo ni free kutransact, ilhali Mpesa inalipisha.
Lakini bado Wakenya wamekatalia Safaricom. It's not out of lack of choices, but rather because of convinience. We've reached a stage where calling and texting is so cheap that even if the other guy offers it for free, it's not worth your time getting up to buy another sim card.

VODACOM TANZANIA’S IPO ON TRACK TO BE THE LARGEST IN THE 19-YEAR HISTORY OF DSE

Vodacom Tanzania’s initial Public Offering (IPO) is on track to be the largest in the 19-year history of the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange after more than 40,000 Tanzanians have subscribed for shares, the company said on Monday.
Vodacom Tanzania is due to list on the DSE during June 2017, pending final verification by the CMSA.
Vodacom said that due to the sheer volume of applications and the size of the Vodacom Tanzania IPO, it has taken slightly longer than initially anticipated to ensure all applications could be processed and to ensure the creation of new central securities depository (CSD) account numbers for the many first-time investors in the DSE.
NBC, the receiving bank for the IPO, has now concluded with reconciliation of funds and applications with each of the brokers that participated across the Country.
Vodacom Tanzania PLC, through its lead advisor Orbit Securities, submitted the full register of IPO participants to the CMSA, who are now undertaking the task of verifying each of the applications.
“This exercise, given the volumes of applications, may take some additional time and Vodacom Tanzania will only be in a position to announce the final results once the CMSA concludes its verification process,” Vodacom said.

The issue is whether the shares r oversubscribed or not? U have to know the mentality is different since we have more options mind u Tigo might be worthing more than Vodacom considering it's fast rising to the top current at number 2 few subscribers before it suprass Vodacom.Congratulations.
Still a long way to go considering Safaricom had 800,000 buyers.
How about coverage n service from these two? And if u have choice meaning superior alternatives, why 76% of you are still in Safaricom?Na nini kinakufanya ufikirie Kenya hatuwezi chagua.

Meanwhile Halotel is already having 3.5 mln customers two years after launching. Plse don't confuse ur mobile fone market to ours. Safaricom is having 76% market share will Vodacom is around 32%. Plse don't force ur ego on a pure market forces scenario.

Halotel reaches 3.5 mln voice subscribers
Tuesday 6 June 2017 | 10:55 CET | News
Halotel Tanzania has signed up 3.5 million voice subscribers and its management believes the expansion is purely a result of its business strategy of focusing on the poor communities, reports The Citizen. By 31 March, the two-year-old company had a subscriber market share of 9 percent, ahead of Zantel and Tanzania Telecommunication Company, which have existed for over a decade, and Smart. Halotel is now fourth behind Vodacom, Tigo and Airtel.
The firm's CEO Le Van Dai said the growth is anchored in the strategy of focusing on poor rural communities. Halotel planned to invest USD 1.7 billion in Tanzania and the latest updates show that at least USD 700 million of this has already been injected into the economy. Halotel now covers 95 percent of Tanzania. The network is now available in at least 3,000 villages that did had no telecommunications reception before the arrival of Halotel. The firm says it is taking the challenge and will invest accordingly.

How about coverage n service from these two? And if u have choice meaning superior alternatives, why 76% of you are still in Safaricom?
Peleka ego yako ya kijinga huko kwenu mngekuwa na entrepreneurship mentality msingekuwa na njaa at the moment as we speak!That's why I stated that you have a long way to go. People don't buy shares because they use that service.
There are many people here with shares of Kenya Airways, Uchumi, Mumias etc. and may never have used those services.
And this is where Tanzania has a looong way to go, in improving the entrepreneurial spirit of its citizenry. It doesn't matter whether you like something or not, as long as it is on a growth trajectory.
In the US for example, Tesla recently became the largest motor company by market value. Yet they barely sell 50,000 cars per year, as opposed to GM's millions. Actually, a very small % of Americans own a Tesla.
The same applies to other companies listed on the NSE.
Of course if u have market share of 76% n CAK is not forcing Safaricom from accepting money transfer other mobile companies in Kenya. Mpesa charges r higher in Kenya than in Tanzania though Safaricom has twice the number of customers compared to Vodacom. And yet u r bragging in here of that unfair monopoly.Voice coverage is more or less the same.
Internet coverage is better (and more expensive) on Safaricom.
Not withstanding, even in towns and cities where the likes of Orange have fast internet, Safaricom is still king.
Main reason people stick with Safaricom is Mpesa.
But away from that, people think it is simply too cumbersome to switch to another network.
Orange or Airtel may be cheaper, but Safaricom prices are also cheap. Sometimes with differences of a few cents, it's simply not worth the savings.
But sticking to the topic, learn to differentiate stock market investments from emotions. I know people who own Kenya Airways shares here but would not dare enter their planes. And there are many other examples.
Ignoramus! Celtel was in the market long before Safaricom came along. Sometimes do your research so you don't look like the complete bafoon you are.Peleka ego yako ya kijinga huko kwenu mngekuwa na entrepreneurship mentality msingekuwa na njaa at the moment as we speak!
If u look how Safaricom came about being that large one can easily see the agreement Vodafone entered with GOT requested sole existence in the market for years before a second operator came in. So Safaricom was groomed to grow by being deliberetely being protected from competition from on start unlike in Tanzania where 3 companies were licenced to operate early on at the beginning.
