So over the weekend I bought 375MB Blaze data. I normally use Orange data nowadays since Airtel Kenya did this to me. But the Orange network wasn’t available where I was so I decided to Blaze up.
I laughed later on at how fast my data ended. And the messages arrived in a funny order. Here’s a screenshot.
Mine was just weird. Almost finished. Then 20MB. Then 75MB. Then actually finished. pic.twitter.com/SovxNNGR1V

Anyway, @SamGichuru started the conversation some one hour ago on Twitter. And there’s now the revelation that the problem of data disappearing is wide spread. There are many people experiencing the same issue:
Kwani Safaricom needs data bundles for campaign? Left is @dnkariuki's screenshot, right is mine. Anybody else lost all their data yesterday? pic.twitter.com/pEFX6qknAq

Mpaka kabambe:

@SafaricomLtd needs to talk about this. Maybe Bundles Mwitu was the better option:
Now you realize bundles Mwitu is a far game.
