Customers are also able to enjoy custom deals courtesy of the Tunukiwa@21 promotion, This includes 21 voice minutes and 21 SMS for KES 20.

Additionally, the telco’s new ‘Bonga for Christmas’ campaign will see customers access their Bonga Points to pay for essential goods and services. This is possible through the huge network of Lipa Na M-PESA merchants across the country.
