Following a trend established in previous years, the number of clients with monthly subscriptions compared to users of top-up cards continued to increase over last year, KSH noted. By the end of 2015, 57.5% of clients had monthly subscriptions and 42.5% used top-up cards, KSH said, while in 2011, the ratios stood at 50.5% to 49.5%.

Although in the last quarter of 2015 the number of calls made from mobile phones dropped by 2.4% as compared to the same period a year earlier, calls made from mobiles throughout the whole year were up by 0.1% to 8.1 billion, according to data from KSH.

The duration of mobile phone calls, however, rose by 7.1% last year as compared to the preceding year, reaching 20 billion minutes.
