For years, data bundles have been the most common way to access the internet in Kenya. At least once a day, a huge percentage of the country's population will buy data bundles. It is estimated that the average 25 to 30-year-old Kenyan will use approximately 35GB of internet a month. Most Kenyans use bundles for social media and to stream movies and music.
Safaricom, the most used mobile service in the country, stands at the forefront of data bundle provision due to its fast and reliable connectivity. It has just launched the Gomoka na Go Monthly bundle promotion. This spells good news for not only individuals but also small and medium business enterprises who may not have the budget for a full business data plan; as the Go Monthly plans are a mix of enriched data, minutes, and All-in-One & Post-Pay, offering convenience and control to its customers.
There's also a chance to win up to Sh1,000,000.
Three reasons you should sign up for the Gomoka na Go Monthly bundle
1. A chance to win Sh1,000,000 monthly
As part of the Gomoka na Go Monthly promotion, Safaricom will reward its customers with daily and monthly cash prizes, with a total prize pool of over Sh30 million. The prizes include data bundles; instant M-Pesa cash prizes ranging from Sh250 to Sh10,000. There will be a grand prize of Sh1,000,000 every month.
All you have to do is select the Spin and Win option after buying the monthly bundle to claim an instant straight-to-your-M-Pesa prize.
2. Good for business
As more business push their products and connect with their customer base via social media, they need bundle plans that will have no problem keeping up with the rigorous demands of a business.
