Telkom Kenya has followed suit by increasing call, SMS and data rates.

The last week has been a bit of an adjustment for many companies and Kenyan citizens after the newly amended Finance Bill was announced. In case you’re not aware there was a rise in the excise duty from 15% to 20% on both internet and call rates, since then we’ve all been waiting to see what the telcos companies will do and Telkom has given us an announcement.

As of yesterday July 6th, 2021 Telkom’s headline price for the Pay-As-You-Go Telkom-to-Telkom Voice will increase to KES 2.78. Pay-As-You-Go Voice price for off-net calls will also rise to KS 4.30. Additionally, the cost to
send an SMS within the Telkom network and across other networks will be KSh.1.15cts. For those who have to browse the prices for mobile data will increase to KES 4.50 per MB. Luckily, the prices for both Voice and Mobile Data bundles prices will not be affected.
