Safaricom
has unveiled a new campaign, dubbed ‘Feels good to be Home,’ which seeks to
grow home internet uptake by showcasing the available fixed internet solutions
as well as value adds that enhance the home experience.
As
part of the campaign, Safaricom has unveiled revamped Family Share plans that
combine home fibre with mobile voice, data, and SMS in one package, enabling
customers to enjoy seamless connectivity at home and on the go.
For
an additional KES 800 on their current Home Fibre plan, customers can enjoy
8GB, 400 minutes plus 1,000 SMS. An additional KES 1,800 gives 17GB, 1,000
minutes plus 2,000 SMS, while an additional KES 2,700 gives 27GB, 1500 minutes
and 3,000 SMS. All Family Share plans come with free WhatsApp and can be shared
with up to 5 household members.
“We
began our Home Internet journey in response to demand from our customers for
fast and reliable connectivity at home. With increasingly digital lifestyles,
our latest offerings seek to leverage our network coverage to cater to our
customers’ evolving needs both in and out of the home,” said Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom PLC.
To
enable customers in non-fibre-ready to access home internet, Safaricom has
further reduced the price of 4G routers, which now retails at KES 2,999 down
from Ksh 6,999, while customers in 5G zones can enjoy 5G Wi-Fi, with routers
now retailing at KES 9,999.
Through
the ‘Feels good to be Home’ campaign, all Safaricom Home Fibre customers can
now access SecureNet, a comprehensive online security service that protects
users from online threats. It includes a suite of powerful features such as
anti-phishing, anti-virus, parental control, and quiet time setting
