Internet in Kenya is almost becoming a necessity to many learned Kenyans as the country is moving to the world of digital. Nowadays in Kenya, mobile phones are the mostly used media to access internet services. Several students and learned people are even becoming addicted to the act of browsing in Kenya, and cannot stay without internet access for long. I am one of the victims of the internet use in Kenya because I cannot stay the whole day without accessing internet services from my Safaricom line. Safaricom internet access in Kenya enables me to read daily news from Kenya through the daily nation and the standard newspapers from the Safaricom website in Kenya.
Nokia phones, which are usually bought from Safaricom shopping centres in Kenya, are configured for Safaricom internet connection, and once you purchase them and you have enough airtime in your Safaricom line, you can be able to access internet services in Kenya without any problem. Other shops apart from Safaricom shopping centers in Kenya also sell Nokia phones that are not sometimes internet configured and therefore they will require the owner to seek alternatives of setting the internet in the phone. In the event that you purchase a Nokia phone in Kenya that is not internet configured, you do not need to worry.
There are three ways you can get Safaricom internet connectivity in your phone in Kenya.

The second way of getting Safaricom internet connectivity in Kenya is sending a blank short message to the number 445 on your Safaricom line in Kenya. Kenyans can also dial *445# to receive a response while trying to connect to internet from Safaricom line in Kenya. You will have to wait for sometime so that Safaricom in Kenya can send the Safaricom internet to your phone. Once they send the internet settings in Kenya, you have to accept the settings by pressing ok button and then switch the phone off for one minute to allow configuration of the Safaricom internet settings on your phone. Thereafter, you can browse from your Safaricom line in Kenya, if there is enough airtime on your phone.
