Airtel Kenya last week held an interactive session at the Nailab hosted by Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE). This was done with the aim of getting feedback on their UnlimiNet offering. During the session they revealed some interesting facts about UnlimiNet that many did not know about. I will run through some of them so as to help you to understand the product a bit better.
Parental Control
Any parent whose child is able to access the internet is always worried about what they might stumble upon while surfing for example pornography. However, with UnlimiNet, that is a thing of the past as all the bundles have a parental control option so as a parent you don’t have to worry about what your child is watching. This I would say is a huge load off any parent’s back.
Discount on UnlimiNet Bundles
Because Airtel always has the back of its customers, it is giving out a 5% discount on the bundles that you buy via Airtel Money. This means that if you want to buy the Kshs.2,000 UnlimiNet bundle, with the 5% discount the cost comes to Kshs.1,900 saving you a 100 bob. It might not appear to be a lot but with the economy as it is any savings are always welcome.
Unlimited Instagram
Other than the unlimited Whatsapp, Twitter and Facebook, Airtel also gives you unlimited Instagram. This allows you to post as many pictures as you want about your exploits while at the same time keeping up with what your friends are doing. Basically these guys don’t want you to miss out on what is happening around you.
Airtel Sleek
Apparently up to 77% of Airtel’s subscribers use UnlimiNet which has seen their data segment grow by 300%. Airtel is keen on getting the other 23% of its subscribers who are not on UnlimiNet onto this wonderful service. They plan to do this by retailing the Airtel Sleek a smartphone that goes for only Kshs.3,500. The phone also comes with a bundle of 100MB every month for 3 months. With this phone they aim to attract those who were not able to acquire a smartphone get a good one at a reasonable price.
Gift a Bundle
This feature allows you to share data bundles with others. With this feature you can be able to sambaza some bundle love to friends and loved ones. For me it works like a charm due to the fact that my nephews and nieces are always asking me for data bundles. In the past I used to send them airtime so that they could convert the same to bundles but with Airtel’s gift a bundle, I just send them the data bundles directly. It also helps that the data bundles are cheaper on the Airtel network.
