Safaricom has announced the introduction of SIM cards with new 0110 and 0111 prefixes following the phasing out of the vintage 07xx prefix.


The new-prefix SIM cards will be available free of charge with customers only required to activate their lines with airtime top-up of KSh.50.

The Company has added self pre-assigned numbers. Customers will have the ability to choose the numbers they need.

“The new 0110 and 0111 prefixes alongside our new numbering system are part of our “For You” commitment to be Simple, Transparent and Honest. We continue to invest in additional enhancements and services to better meet the needs of our customers as they evolve and to also provide them with even more freedom and flexibility,” said Sylvia Mulinge, Chief Customer Officer, Safaricom.
The new prefixes were allocated by the Communications Authority of Kenya in 2019 after the exhaustion of the 07XX prefixes.
