Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! The only charge we apply is a minimal transaction fee. Some of the operators to whom you send recharges could also charge a VAT, but unfortunately that is something we cannot control, as we have no control over the rate exchange, that is also imposed by the local operator.

Hi Divine,
The rates reflect the costs on the global market. These costs affect all international calling operators. Unlike many, we have NO FEES (no connection or maintenance fees, etc), calling credit carries on from month to month for the Voice service, the routes are high quality (no comprise on this), and you get:
-Regular offers by email (if you're subscribed).
-Thank You points (loyalty points) for your purchases. You've collected 444 so far, and when you get to 1000 you can convert them into $10 Voice Credit for free calls. The option is available in your account, My Information tab.
Still we're working to lower the rates by lowering the costs. When major drops occur automatically, we usually send an email notification to our subscribers.
Keep in touch!

They should pay more for the money and no VAT charged.

Hi Shelina,
All taxes are visible in the top up process on the website and the checkout. No hidden fees or small print. What you see there is all that is to this transaction.
As for the "money" that reach the destination, please consider that Mobile Recharge is a transfer of goods service and it abides by other rules than a currency exchange service. The processing fee in the checkout reflects the costs on the global market, all the international transactions that make possible a fast recharge.
Thank you for your understanding!

The service is average but kindly still lower the price a little bit some we can communicate more with our families and friends.

Hi Keziah,
The service should work perfectly for you. So, since you're using the app, please make sure:
-You have the latest version installed.
-TRy the offline calling option from the app. It's most useful when Internet speed is slow, which most of the times influence the call quality majorly.
Thank you for your understanding, and please tell us how it goes!
P.S. Please convert your 1,120 Thank You points into $11,20 free Voice Credit. Log into your account and go to My Information tab. Use the Convert button on the right, in the Thank You points section.

get an app for apple and android please
The connections are somewhat good when I call on WiFi. It would be nice to get an app, to make it easier to call with a touch of one button instead of dialing the full numbers every time I call.

Hi roni,
There's an app that works smoothly. It's called KeepCalling: https://telephonekenya.com/apps
You can use your phone contacts (international format) to call directly.
Android version available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keepcalling.ui

It's good but expensive please adjust the rates especially to Kenya
Response from TelephoneKenya.comMar 18, 2019
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your feedback!
The current rates reflect the costs on the global market and the quality we choose.
Any time the costs go down, the rates go down automatically and when major drops take place, we send an email to our subscribers.
Do you know there are ways to get free credit?
-Thank You points for example. They apply when you make a purchase on TelephoneKenya. When you reach 1000, you can convert them yourself into $10 Voice Credit for free calls. Check your current points in your account, My Information tab.
-Invite friends to try the service and you earn 500 points for each friend who places their first order with TelephoneKenya.com. Send your invites by email, from your online account. This way you'll have your referral code included. So, go to My Information tab, and on the right you have the Thank You points email option. It takes seconds, and you need their email addresses, of course.

Hope it helps! Thank you for your collaboration!

expensive
With many apps available for msking calls, using this service is becoming a little expensive.
Response from TelephoneKenya.comJan 22, 2019
Hi Jay,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
There are ways to get FREE credit for your calls:
-Thank You points in your account.
GOOD NEWS! You've collected 2,121 Thank You points in your account for your loyal purchases, so please convert them right now into $21.21 Voice Credit. Log into your TelephoneKenya.com account and go to My Information. Look for the Thank You points section on the right and tap "Convert". You'll have $21.21 calling credit automatically in your account.
-Regular Facebook giveaways and prizes: https://www.facebook.com/telephonekenya/
-Bonus and Discount coupons by email. Since you have subscribed to "Get offers" by email, you should receive our regular offers.
We work on lowering these rates every day. They reflect international costs specific to the telecom market as well as local costs. As soon as costs drop the service drops its final price too. We usually send an email to let you know when the difference is considerable.
The costs include keeping the call quality high. So, we won't go for routes that have a poor call connection, since that can be frustrating for you and us as well.
Most of the calling apps on the market require that the caller and the person called have the same app installed on their smartphone. But if the person we call doesn't have access to Internet, or doesn't use a smartphone, that doesn't do us any good. The others offer the free service from app user to app user, but if you check their app to regular phone rates, you'll be amazed; they're not economical at all.
KeepCalling app (the app we use and offer), allows anyone to make calls from their smartphone to ANY KIND OF PHONE (whether landlines, old school phones, smartphones), without having the same app on the destination phone.
Thank you for being with us and for your understanding!
