Safaricom today introduced a new service called Niokolee, where a Safaricom user can request another Safaricom user to send them Money. This is somehow similar to Please Call Me, but in this case, you are requesting the person to send you airtime instead of asking them to call you.
Summary
To use Safaricom Niokolee service, just dial *444# and select Niokolee.
This new Safaricom product has been bundled up with similar products such as the Reverse call, Please call me Sambaza. You can now just request credit from anyone you want, and this is particularly important when you are in an emergency.
To send a Niokolee request from your Safaricom line. Follow these simple steps;
After sending this request, the other person will have to accept or decline the request.
Once you have received a Niokolee Kredo request, it is up to you to accept or reject the request. To reject the Niokolee request;
After accepting the Niokolee Kredo request, your account will be deducted and you will receive a prompt notifying you of this, accept the prompt to accept, by clicking on send. After accepting the prompt, the other person will be sent the Airtime they requested.
If you reject the request, they will be notified that you have not accepted the Niokolee Kredo request.
If you feel this new product is way too much and you are in need of Airtime you can always use other methods to call someone or request them to call you. These alternatives include;
If the person you want to call has airtime, just send them a reverse call request by putting harsh(#) in front of their number and dialling it. For example, if their number is 0712xxxxxx, just dial #0712xxxxxx. They will receive a call from you, but they are the ones who will be charged. You can check out my article on how to call someone without using your credit for more information on this.
The downside of this is that if the person does not have credit, the call will not go through. Another downside is that if the person does not recognize your number for any reason, they might just ignore it altogether.
This is similar to Niokolee, but in this case, you are requesting the person to call you instead of sending you credit. The downside of this is that if the person does not see the message, you may have to wait a while with no help, especially in emergency situations.
