Telkom Kenya, in a move to expand its data market, has reviewed its flagship Combo bundle dubbed “Mzito” giving subscribers data, minutes and free night data owing to a marked growth in Mobile Data consumption, largely by millennials.

The revised Data and Voice plan (Combo Pack) comes shortly after Telkom announced its 1 billion-shilling investment into the expansion, densification, and optimization of its 4G and 3G networks.

The network roll-out will see to the improvement of mobile connectivity, boosting the quality of service to customers.

Announcing the reviewed bundle, Telkom’s MD for the Mobile Division, Amer Atwi said that the new combo bundle is built with the data and experience needs of Telkom customers in mind.

“While they continue to demand affordability, they are also keen on holistic and comprehensive offerings that address their dynamic needs: browsing, downloading, streaming and updating their Apps, actions that are now integral in everyday life,” Atwi said.

The summary of the new data bundles is as shown below:

Subscribers will be allowed to buy another bundle before the existing bundle expires, which will see a cumulative increase to their data and minutes. This is in addition to the free data which still remains available for night use.

Telkom customers can sign up for the bundle by dialing *544#.

Upon exhaustion of one’s bundle, the customer will revert to being charged at the prevailing Pay As You Go (PAYG) rate of 3.30 shillings per minute for voice and 4.30 shillings per MB for data.
