Daily and weekly offers are personalised per line, so dial *544# to see the exact prices your number qualifies for. Tunukiwa offers on *444# also refresh daily.
Monthly Data Bundles (With Expiry)
These are the standard bundles Safaricom publishes. All are valid for 30 days. Buy via *544#, the M-PESA app, or mySafaricom app.

| 7GB | 1,000 | Free WhatsApp |

Data With No Expiry
Safaricom also sells data that never expires. You pick any amount you can afford and use it until it runs out.
- Buy on *544#, the mySafaricom app, or safaricom.com/bundles
- Pay with airtime or M-PESA, for your line or another number
- No free WhatsApp on no-expiry data
- Bundles with an expiry date are used up first, then your no-expiry data
- Without any bundle, browsing costs Ksh 4.30 per MB from airtime
All-In-One Monthly Bundles
One bundle for data, minutes, and SMS. Valid 30 days. Dial *544# and pick a tier.
| Price (Ksh) | Data | Minutes | SMS |
| 100 | 400MB | 20 | 50 |
| 250 | 1GB | 50 | 100 |
| 500 | 2GB | 100 | 500 + Free WhatsApp |

Data rolls over when you renew with another All-In-One bundle. Stop auto-renew through *544# if you don’t want monthly billing. PostPay customers get the same Ksh 1,000–10,000 tiers and pay at the end of the month instead — join via *544#, exit via *200#.
