Telenor Takes Down SMS Bundles During Eid

If you have been enjoying SMS bundles over the time, Eid is not going to be a best of times for sending text messages,

Telenor has suspended all text bundles till September 24th, 2009 to ensure the quality services.

Dear Customers, SMS Bundles have been suspended till 24th September 09 to provide you better service during EID. Please subscribe again on 24th September after 2pm. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I hope others won’t follow Telenor’s lead.

  • Not Good! Telenor should shut down its services if they can’t updates their networks. I hate Telenor.

  • Indeed this is the worst think one could expect, pehle sms ki bochar kar di phir rok lya. What they want from us?. Well i recently opted for zong. Thanks God for the time being. . .!

  • My ranking for operators
    No.1 -> UFONE AND WARID
    No.2 -> ZONG
    No.3 -> ……
    No.4 -> MOBILINK (may-b-link)
    No.5 -> TELENOR (thu)

  • Very shameless act 4rm Telenor as well s Mobilink too…….. hope Warid, Zong & Ufone dont do this……

  • Har fazul step yehi utatha hai…ab kia hum normal msg bi nahi karain gain….yaar ye kia bakwas hai…..lagtha hai sim thor hi phenkna pare ga…

  • Yaar Start Boycott Telenor Campaign. Telenor Sucks.

    Again I hate telenor bcoz.
    1. Expensive packages
    2. Expensive GPRS.
    3. Worst service.

    Aur ab enho ne sabit kar diya hai k enkay pass itni resources bhi nahi han k yeh network sanbhal saken.

    Stop using Telenor.

    My Ratings for service.
    1. Ufone
    2. Warid.
    3. Zong

    Worst Services
    Mobilink & Telenor

  • what about existing msgs ???

    bohat hi ziada bura impact para hai telenor ka !!!

    sab port out hojaoo kisi dusrey network pe @@@
    dil tu ye hi chah raha hai

  • Haan yaar bas telenor chortain hai…laikin sirf 1 bande se nahi hota hum sab ko mil ke chorna pare ga….aur service bi aajkal bohut fazul ho gai hai…maza nahi ata…

  • ____ _____ Telenor. I was somewhat a fan of Telenor uptill now. As long as other operators don’t follow this noble example, we can punish Telenor by switching to other networks. But if all the operators have secretly colluded and if we see others following suit in the next few days, then PTA and the Competition Commission of Pakistan should intervene and fine them heavily for anti-competitive practices.

  • When Telenor launched in Pakistan, they were boldly proclaiming: “European Quality Standards arrive in Pakistan!”. Now over the years, we have seen what “European Quality Standards” truly are, according to Telenor. Actually, in Europe, these companies are kept from eating their costumers by the strict ‘danda’ of the government. If anybody was thinking that Pakistanis are the only ones who can’t operate without danda, they were WRONG! I hope the people from Telenor (and all other operators for that matter) read these posts.

Now over the years, we have seen what “European Quality Standards” truly are, according to Telenor. Actually, in Europe, these companies are forced to maintain minimum quality specifications and are kept from eating their costumers by the strict ‘danda’ of the government.

  • Tabhi to mane 2year phly hi Telenor chor dia tha// UFONE is best…

    MNP se convert karwa lo bhai lo.. NO. wohi service change. wo apko call karainge k kion ja rhy han than ap suna dena..

  • Hey propakistani visitors let me explain something good. Tonight I called helpline to ask about when they will close these sms bundle and the CRO replied that it is already closed but today I sent a lot of sms’s and my balance was same so again I called helpline to confirm that when will the stop these bundles i mean from eid day till 24th or from when and I was surprised to hear that only new subscription to sms bundle is closed and those user who have already subscribed and have sms in their buckets they can normally use it during eid days….I am lucky as i have more then 300 sms’s and they are valid till 25th….Yahoo.

  • I totally agree with u all and I decide to shift to warid..please join hands and bye to telenor….

  • That’s it I’m porting my number to ufone or warid now! This was the last straw! This shows how they value their customers! Whenever u hear the same bull about doing something for better service u know it’s just to screw u over! First they started charging for balance enquiry etc n now this…u can kiss my u know what now telenor…it was not nice knowing u

  • telenor wont make a lot of money cus they stopped resubscription of this service only since friday.package is for one week so most ppl already have their sms’s intact and will use them during eid days.only few ppl whose subscription expired on friday,satday will face problems.the vast majority will still enjoy virtually free sms.telenor has been stupid,if they wanted to make money they should have stopped resubscription since sunday not since friday.most ppl’s packages will work easily through out the eid holidays.

  • TELENOR Just CRAP Big Time :@
    It Shows the repu of Telenor!
    All other Ufone and zong companies do their best for making their reputation good in the market! and telenor doing such kinda cheap things to cut out their customers!

    Telnor Just :@

  • If Telenor were trying to set themselves apart from the competition, they have now proved that they are no different as far as unilateral unfair steps are concerned. All operators are now hell-bent on looting as much as possible but Warid has surprisingly resisted the temptation to a good extent.

  • warid k glow pe shift hojaoo :)

    700 sms for just 7 rs
    aur call rates bhi djuice se sastey haIn .. + 10 FnF

    till now … aik msg bhi nahi kya 4 din se :D
    em using ufOne :)

  • Warid the best network and post paid even better just try it , just want to share warid post customers are more than sum of all other operators correct me if i am wrong

  • Telenor what you are doing. Shut down your business in Pakistan. Plz!!!!!!!!!!!!! don’t try to make us fool.
    Actually someone wrote write that telenor is running short of resources.
    Plz plz plz invest some money that you are making from your customer.Otherwise you are going to be a no more !
    There are so many rivals in the sea. Hurry up telenor. Might be you will be loosing so many people like mine.

  • Bhaiyon Telenor walon ne toh dikhadi is bar EID pe sms free krne ke bjaye package hi temporary band krdia .bullshit.
    men to kehta hon sbke sb WARID ke GLOW pacakge pe ajoa buht hi best hai.jb tk punish nhi kroge sahi nhi honge yeh log .woh waqt yeh bhul gye jb logo ne inke banners hatadiye they apni shops se kesa maafi mang rhe they yeh log.jb denmak ke kahani hui thi.inke sath yehi kuch kero take phir mafi mangen.kia khyal hai bhaion.

    WARID IS BEST
    1.no 12 pesa charges on balance inquiry
    2.Delivery reports
    3.Lowest Rates +10FNF

  • I was quite a fan of telenor – but now: Telenor Sucks!!!

    Let’s all port to Ufone! :) At least they have the decency to give superb packages on superb times!

  • well….i use telenor since it’s starting….no problem at all…..even on this eid i subscribed bundle offer a day before eid…and it’s working fine…no sms lose no signal lose….their services are good enough to use confidently :)
