Safaricom to Discontinue Platinum in Favour of All In One Bundle

0

In early 2018, Safaricom introduced Platinum, a product that focused on people on the go and professionals who needed peace of mind, in that they could reach out to friends and family without worrying about depleting their units.

It came in two packages: Basic and Plus. The latter is equipped with additional units (data, voice, and SMS).

Other perks include access to business class lounges at major airports, as well as discounts at EatOut, Shell, and Ticketsasa.

The product was probably preferred by the business community because it also offered international minutes.

Not that these features are less significant – but it would appear that Platinum has not been doing good.

Customers who are renewing their subscriptions are being told that Platinum will not be available as of August 30.

In place, customers are being told to buy All In One bundle that we have since covered.

Our guess is that the product is not as appealing anymore, bearing in mind that the carrier has launched better and competitive offerings. Perhaps the best of them all is the bundle that does not expire – both for voice, SMS and data.

To this end, you should be looking for a new home because Platinum is going.

You might want to check out the aforementioned bundles that do not expire, All In One Bundle – as well as the revamped Post Pay.
