Safaricom is targeting an extra one million customers on its 4G network through a flexible smartphone purchase scheme in partnership with the tech giant, Google. Dubbed Lipa Mdogo Mdogo, the telco’s customers will own 4G enabled smartphone by paying as low as Sh20 daily for almost a year. The pay-as-you-use model will see Safaricom customers acquire the Neon Ray Pro, a 4G Android (Go edition) smartphone which retails for Sh5,500 by depositing Sh1,000 and making Sh20 daily payments to clear the balance. The project seeks to empower customers currently on 2G devices to upgrade and enjoy high-speed internet connectivity. Speaking during a virtual launch, Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa said the firm is committed to transforming lives through quick internet connectivity.
