Buy Telkom Data Bundles in Kenya

Telkom sells its bundles through its own app and menus, and through services that carry the network. Telkom also runs T-Kash, its mobile money, which is how many Telkom customers pay.

This page covers the channels, buying for another Telkom number, and what to check in a Telkom bundle.

How to Buy Telkom Bundles

  • The Telkom app: buy for your own line, and for another Telkom number where the app allows it.
  • The Telkom USSD menu: for when you have no data.
  • T-Kash, Telkom's mobile money: top up and pay for bundles inside Telkom's own channels.
  • A bundle or airtime website that carries Telkom, usually paid with M-Pesa.

Telkom bundles are tied to Telkom lines, so a bundle bought here will not top up a Safaricom, Airtel or Faiba number.

Buying Bundles for Another Telkom Number

As with the other networks, you can usually buy for another Telkom line by entering the recipient's number rather than your own. Confirm the number before you pay — a delivered bundle is not recalled.

Choosing a Telkom Bundle

  • Check the validity — daily, weekly and monthly change the value of the same amount of data.
  • Check what the bundle covers, especially if it is marketed as a social or app bundle.
  • Compare cost per gigabyte against other networks' bundles if the line is yours to choose.
