Differentiating Phone Numbers in Kenya
Here’s how to differentiate which network someone in Kenya uses based on their phone number. Numbers beginning with… 020 = landline operated by Orange 070, 071, 072 = Safaricom 073 = Zain (now Airtel) 075 = yu 077 = Orange In-network calls are cheaper than out-of-network calls, so most people use these to determine which SIM card to use when calling someone. Could be a useful m-money authentication method? For instance, an M-Pesa receipt that lists the sender as 075xxxxxxx would be fraudulent because 075 is a yu number.
