Retirement of Platinum Service

In October 2019, when we renewed our commitment to be Simple, Transparent and Honest with our customers, we also tasked ourselves to review our products and services to harmonize customer experience and ensure that our customers were getting the best value. As part of the review process, our loyal Platinum customers will be upgraded to the All-In-One plan or the new Karibu PostPay plans with non-expiry resources, which offer more voice and data. The notification that was sent to all our Platinum customers was to inform them that Platinum Plans will no longer be available effective August 30th 2020
