On October 24, 2019, Safaricom marked its 19th anniversary with a new set of bundles for calls, SMS, and data that don't expire.
The bundles are accessible through the company's 544# shortcode and the mySafaricom app, which has been updated to version 1.5.0.5.
According to Safaricom, users can key in the amount they wish to spend and the app will show them the corresponding resources they can access with the keyed-in amount.
For instance, Kshs 1 gets one 2 megabytes of data or Kshs 1.50 worth of calling airtime.
The update also brings to the mySafaricom app, for the first time, the All In One bundles that Safaricom has offered since the start of the year and which continue being offered with a sell-by date.
These changes are also accessible to Blaze customers who use the Blaze version of the app.
The Safaricom app's icon has also changed in line with the new 'more white, less green' ethos that Safaricom has going all over the place.
