“Telkom, guided by our belief that Mobile Data is a fundamental human right, proceeded to create a bundle that speaks to the mind of the Kenyan consumer; giving them the ability to acquire a large bundle with more resources that they can share with family and friends,” Achola added.

“There is no other product in the market that can enable you to acquire and access such large amounts of Mobile Data at a very competitive rate, that you can then proceed to share with others,” Achola said.

To purchase the bundle, customers should dial *444*4# on their phones. The shared bundle will last 30 days with no roll-over.
