It is quite interesting to see the telco revamp these voice bundles considering how popular they are in the Kenyan market. This is mostly due to their affordable prices and value prepositions compared to separate bundles.

This news follows the recently announced partnership made with Showmax. This team-up now involves subscribers getting a one-month free Showmax Pro package when they purchase 30GB and 45GB data bundles.

To get the bundles all one has to is:

1. Dial *544# and select Showmax Bundle.
2. Choose your bundle.
3. Put in your Telkom number.
4. You will receive and STK prompt to input  your M-PESA pin.
5. You’ll receive an SMS notification from M-PESA.

The data allocation is valid for 30 days from the day of receipt. For example, if you receive the first data allocation on 20 December 2020, you’ll have it daily until 19 January 2021. The deal is also one-off and you buy it at each 30-day period.
