Talk-2-Safaricom: Days 1 of 6 (Monday 6th Feb) – Consumer Issues

Good Morning,

Has anyone else noticed they cant pick SIM contacts to use when sending
MPESA?

I have tried with 2 Phones, One an Android smart phone and a Nokia feature
phone. All was working well until early last week.

Have a great week ahead.

Denis
