“The service is in use by Safaricom employees on pilot basis”
It will soon be easy for mobile phone users to recover their contacts should they lose their handsets. To make this a reality, Safaricom will introduce a new service, known as ‘Okoa Sim’ designed to ease the pain of losing contacts when handsets are lost or stolen by offering backup and recovery of information for subscribers. The project will use cloud computing to store all information on a subscriber’s Sim card, which will promptly be recovered once a replacement sim is activated.
“We may not entirely change how we are doing business because of the Communications Commission of Kenya latest data because I believe it is satisfactory. We will venture into other aspects that will bring new confidence to our clients,” he said.The move is set to ease the inconveniences caused when subscribers displace or lose their Sim cards and have to restart the search for contacts. Safaricom introduced Safaricom Cloud in 2009, which would enable business companies run comprehensive IT services with reduced capital expenditure and safe methods of data storage.
