How to buy
Dial *544# or use the MySafaricom app, which is how Safaricom’s pages direct you to buy. The exact menu may change, so follow the prompts for the plan you want.
What is not on Safaricom’s website
Safaricom also sells daily and weekly bundles through *544# and its app, but its website does not list them. We only publish what we can read from the operator’s site, so those prices are not in our tables. Search for them in the app, where the current offers appear.
Choosing a plan
- Work out your monthly use. A monthly plan only saves money if you use the data in 30 days.
- Compare cost per GB on the Safaricom data plans page, or filter by budget: under KSh 1,000, under KSh 2,000, under KSh 3,000.
- If you also need calls and SMS, compare with the PostPay plans.
- Confirm the price in the app before you buy.
Airtel Kenya and Telkom are not listed yet. See all of Kenya’s plans on our Kenya data plans page.
