Open your SMS app and check the Spam & Blocked folder.

The telecommunication company has in recent times experienced challenges with its systems causing concerns among users.
In January, MPesa was unavailable for several hours due to maintenance leaving Kenyans stranded.
Customers were unable to access the service for transactions on the M-Pesa app, USSD code, and SIM card tool hampering businesses.
“M-PESA is undergoing scheduled maintenance,” read a message from Safaricom.
