What is Post Pay?
PostPay is a tariff that allows you to use now and pay later. The Safaricom PostPay tariff on sign up allows you to set a preferred monthly credit limit with a minimum allowable limit of 1,000. PostPay is open to all Safaricom prepay customers with the exception of corporate accounts.
On Post Pay, you only pay after use. So you use your SIM card for data, voice calls, and SMSs. Then at the beginning of a new month, you get an email from Safaricom with a bill of all you used. You then pay this bill like you would pay your rent, or pay for Kenya Power tokens, using a provided Safaricom postpay M-Pesa Pay Bill number.
