In a landmark move for Kenya's mobile industry, Safaricom PLC, in partnership with Huawei, has unveiled VybCall, the country's first-ever Video Ring Back Tone VRBT service - and the first of its kind in Africa.
Building on the success of Safaricom's popular Skiza platform, VybCall transforms the traditional ring-back tone into a visual and engaging experience, allowing callers to watch short, curated videos while waiting for their calls to connect. The service introduces a new layer of creativity and personalization to everyday mobile interactions, marking a major leap in digital innovation for Kenyan consumers.
Safaricom describes the launch as a reflection of its continued commitment to digital empowerment and innovation, offering customers new ways to express themselves and connect through technology. The partnership with Huawei underscores a shared vision to enhance mobile experiences and push the boundaries of what's possible in Africa's rapidly evolving digital landscape.
