Safaricom clients will now be able to purchase goods and services using 5G bundles. The company has unveiled a new payment model that will see its post-pay and pre-paid subscribers access the service with at least 5 GB of bundles. Users will be required to dial the USSD code *544*34# through their Safaricom lines and will then receive a prompt message to pay the amount keyed in via till numbers or pay bill.
