Telkom has unveiled a new service that will see its customers enjoy a lifetime free 1GB mobile internet data and 100 minutes of talk time on Telkom-to-Telkom calls, every month.
This lifetime offer called Madaraka Life is in line with the spirit of Madaraka; valuing Kenyan freedom – giving all Kenyans the opportunity to pursue their goals and live their dreams, thereby becoming truly independent.
The telco company is the first network in Kenya to introduce such an offering, making mobile internet data and talk time even more accessible to more Kenyans.
For a one-time payment of Ksh100, new Telkom customers will enjoy the offer. They will also be registered to Telkom’s mobile money service, T-kash, and will receive an instant cashback of Ksh50 to their mobile money wallet.
Existing customers will also enjoy the offer upon loading a minimum of Ksh100 airtime.
They will also receive an instant cashback of Ksh50 to their T-kash wallet. Telkom stated that Madaraka Life kicked off in Nairobi, before a progressive rollout across the country.
The offer can be accessed via the USD *444*58#.
Telkom on June 1, noted that it would be offering Kenyans an important access key to their own digital independence, for the Madaraka Day season, and beyond.
“Making calls and being able to connect to the Internet are now a basic need for all. In this age of increased virtual communications, Telkom fully understands how important access to communications services is to all Kenyans.
“Telkom is therefore making this commitment to empowering Kenyans with this digital independence that they seek; giving them easier access to essential technology services that continue to simplify our lifestyles,” Telkom’s Chief Executive Officer, Mugo Kibati stated.
The telco added that the development of new products and solutions in the digital era will ensure that the customer, who is keen on the next best offer, will be able to benefit from offers that broaden and simplify their digital lifestyles.
“We continue with our long-term terrestrial network expansion plan that is informed by our overall company strategy, which will see us scale up to 80 percent of our network to 4G, increase our network footprint across the country, and get more Kenyans online,” Kibati highlighted that Telkom remains cognisant of the integral role the technology company’s core terrestrial network plays in keeping customers connected.
In May 2021, Telkom announced the integration of T-kash with the government digital services platform, eCitizen.
This integration with the eCitizen Portal will enable Telkom customers to make payments for a number of services including those offered by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA); Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Business Registration Service, Immigration Services, Civil Registration Department, Office of the Attorney General, Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and the National Construction Authority.
