Safaricom has addressed customer concerns regarding the removal of the three-hour B-Live data bundle, explaining that the popular time-based internet offer has been discontinued. The clarification came after a customer on X questioned Safaricom about the bundle's withdrawal, expressing confusion over its removal. Safaricom responded, stating that only one Ksh25 B-Live option will be available each day between 11 pm and 4 pm.

This change marks a significant shift from the original B-Live structure introduced in 2025, which offered multiple time-based options, including one hour for Ksh20, three hours for Ksh50, and six hours for Ksh150. The latest development signals a move towards a more uniform B-Live offering, with the Ksh25 package combining one hour of browsing, 10 free minutes, and a Ksh1 Ziidi contribution.

The change comes amid broader customer complaints about inconsistencies in Safaricom's data promotions.
