It’s no secret that Safaricom is the leading Mobile operator in Kenya, attracting about 65.4% of the whole mobile market share over Airtel Kenya and Telkom. But all these numbers matter because, at the end of the day, using a Safaricom SIM Card/number, we can communicate with our family, friends, and even professional colleagues. However, there are timers when you can end up having missed calls, which disrupts essential information, whether it’s an emergency or a business deal.

When activated, the beauty behind the service is that as soon as the person you tried calling recently joins the network, both the caller and the recipient will receive an instant SMS alert informing them that the person you tried calling is online or someone tried calling you.
