Dongle and mobile phone. by Jules2

Hi, I arrive in Nairobi on Friday morning and will need a new mobile and a dongle for my laptop. Could anyone point me in the right direction of the Kenyan equivalent of a Carphone Warehouse, please? Many thanks Jules

Owen Wandago

I disagree, Airtel is the best for voice calls (in clarity and rates) and Safaricom is the best for internet (fasted and most reliable in the market. Just not the cheapest) Read More
