Safaricom has extended its air-time advance product, Okoa Jahazi, to calls that terminate on other local networks.

 Safaricom’s Prepay subscribers can now use air-time acquired through the service to call and text other local networks. The prevailing rates will apply on such usage.

Previously, the airtime advance service, was limited to the Safaricom network. Okoa Jahazi allows subscribers a chance to get an airtime advance of Sh50 per request. Launched on April 15, Okoa Jahazi has been a runaway success for Safaricom, registering over 1.7 million users on the day of launch. It has also served to underpin network dependability, increasing brand loyalty and stickiness by helping many subscribers in distress.
