Ikigo cy’itumanaho Safaricom cyasabye abafatabuguzi bacyo kurinda cyane umubare wabo w’ibanga, itariki yabo y’amavuko, na nimero yabo y’indangamuntu.

Cyanavuze ko abafatabuguzi bacyo bakwiye kumenya nimero y’iki kigo yemewe ijyanye no kwita ku bibazo by’abakiriya kugira ngo badakomeza kubeshywa n’abashaka kwinjira muri konti zabo zo kuri telefoni zigendanwa.
