Telkom Kenya has unveiled a deal to offer affordable smartphones to its customers as it seeks to boost data revenues.

Telkom Kenya, which said recently it is now betting on data to grow its sales after it terminated the deal to merge with Airtel, noted yesterday that the smartphones retailing at Sh3,100 will enable more of its customers access the higher speed 4G Internet.

“The Kaduda 4G is a significant upgrade in the Kaduda series that will allow more of our customers to have access to additional features and applications not seen in the previous devices,” Telkom’s managing director for consumer Steve Okeyo.

The smartphones will be available in all Telkom shops, countrywide, the operator added.
