Great and very fast connection!

I find that TelephoneKenya.com phoneline has a great and very fast connection. I think the prices are good too. Would recommend it highly to anyone needing to make that international call to Kenya in a less expensive way. There's also the credit coupons that come along once in a while and that adds up too. Topping up your credit is also very easy, just follow the prompts and click your top up, then proceed to making the call..all in one step!!

Fairly Priced

The cost is relatively fair, it is easy to sign-up and top-up your account and they charge by the nearest second not minute. The down side is that unlike using calling cards, one is not able to dial subsequent calls without needing to start all over each time.

Love Tel Kenya

Love Tel Kenya. It’s always reliable and does not lose money. Even if I don’t use my account in 1 year or more, the same amount of money will still be there. Thank you

Dear customer,

We're very sorry for the inconvenience. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Indeed a top up can fail for various reasons, but for sure the pending charges will be unblocked by the issuing bank in a few bussiness days.
