Telkom Kenya is the third-largest mobile network in terms of subscriber numbers in the country. Partly owned by the government, the operator underwent a major rebranding in 2017 from Orange Kenya to Telkom Kenya after being sold to Helios Investments Partners.
The rebranded network has since launched some new prefixes to keep up with their new found growth. Let’s take a look at its current mobile prefixes:

Telkom’s rebranding seems to have paid off with the operator registering a slight growth in subscriber numbers to stand currently around 3.5 million (2020).
While the company is yet to register profits, this trend may signal a change for the better, especially considering that their competitive rates coupled with their clever marketing campaigns have been rather effective.
