In addition to linking friends and families, the network will also help a range of other users – from farmers and resellers who want to share market prices, to businesses that wish to communicate with their staff on the road, to news outlets that want to share information with targeted groups.

  2. Jadoo says:

    what are the sms charges on 7111?

  3. Haroon says:

    Is the service ‘Our Voice” is free and is this service copy of Chopaal or its Different?

  4. originative says:

    It is just a way to get information about the users and USE them for their interest as they did with Facebook they collect information from there as facebook is not accessible easily in Pakistan so they introduce an other way … i request to all that PLEASE DO NOT use it and try to avoid giving your personal information (such as your pictures(because they do no delete even if you delete it) personal email ,phone no etc) to other social Networking site such as facebook, tagged, twitter,…

    • Aamir Attaa says:

      good argument – that why US government would fund such a platform for Pakistani common people. We know secretary emphasized, multiple times, about changing the perception of common person in Pakistan – maybe this is one of the way, to get the masses on board and then broadcasting messages of their will. However, let’s not anticipate things, maybe it is too early; but probability is there.

        Hi aamir bhai app ki pehlay wali pic ziada achi the profile may

      • Nadeem says:

        To some extent your right Aamir. US is trying to change the thinkings of the people about US. They will send anonymous (without any name) to all the people. It could be any type of message which will weaken the belifs of Pakisatni Muslims and slowly brainwash common person.

  5. Rez says:

    My question is, why United States investing into this, is their strategic move to spy on what we talk about? well, this is bit creepy.

  6. Nouman Khan says:

    Agreed with Originative !

    This is now revealed to the internet buddy that CIA is the mastermind for following us. They now want to penetrate more on us. They now how our nation is now get aware of the latest and other issues by these SMS campaigns.

    If anyone is unaware of how they work they just google and youtube the terms:

    media mind control
    jew watch
    cia dirty games

    and list goes on…

  7. Shehzad says:

    Is it for pak only our other country people can also join us in it ? I think it will be limited to pk only but little confused as its lunched by us may be us other also can be connected

  10. Saad Hamid says:

    Looks to me more like a spying service but I will still manage to give it a try.

  11. Kashif Bashir says:

    I think this is not Pakistani 1st mobile social network. 1st mobile social network is chopaal

  12. Nadeem Ahmed says:

    to quit from this service , please type
    unsubscribe
    and send it to 7111
    you will b unsbscribed from it
    but if u dnt want to receive msgs from a specific USER only then you cant.
    ita a bug of this 7111 service.

  13. Adeel says:

    I have been using chopaal.pk. They send close to 7 Million SMS/month. Goes on to show the ignorance and arrogance of Hillary Clinton that she did not even know that Pakistan has a very large SMS social network already that is used by over 500,000 pakistanis. I just noticed that samaa news even sends its officials news alerts through them. Just go to http://www.chopaal.pk and use this Pakistani social network, rather than using CIA-sponsored networks to gather information about pakistanis.

  14. ATHAR says:

    YA I ALSO WANT TO KNOW, HOW TO REMOVE A SPECIFIC NUMBER FROM UR GROUP

  15. Bright Boy says:

    chopaal is lot better than that and is Pakistan’s first social networking website.

  16. Khalid says:

    i love the heathly paranoia exhibited by everyone, but do you really thing the US need a social network page to get information on you. Our government gives it too them everyday …..

  17. Haseeb Khan says:

    7111 Is Amrican Service!
    But it hink Its FEAUTRES is better, Because no type of Registration is required for Getting SMS alerts

  18. Amigo Adnan says:

    unsubscribe userid and send to 7111.

  22. kamran zaki khan says:

    this service is tooooo slow

  23. Adeel says:

    I do not understand the debate. Pakistan already has a very large, fast mobile social network called ChOpaal.pk. It sends over 7 Million SMS in a month. Then why even consider joining an America sponsored network with at best dubious intentions. I think we should all boycott this american network and join http://www.chopaal.pk . Be Pakistani, Use Pakistani!

  24. kamran zaki khan says:

  35. I also know about a site from where you can get 100 rupees balance. Just gives the answers of the simple questions daily and get 100 rupees balance after a week. But only two lucky winners will get balance after the lucky draw.

  36. Asad says:

    wait for reply
    then chose user id for registration and send to 7111
    after this Send “sabkijan” to 7111 to subscribe free service from my side
    In Last you send your user id to me on 03212005570 for your messages

  39. Subhan says:

    7111 is worst service. chopaal is way better than 7111. the delivery time in 7111 is almost 12 to 14 hours and in chopaal sometime its too quick but when its worst it just take 5 or 6 hours. so chopaal is better. and also in chopaal we can chat but on 7111 its just one-way sms. so in my opinion chopaal is better. but if u r using 7111 then Write CRICNEWS and send it to 7111. and enjoy free cricket updates.

  40. TAS says:

    This project surely doesn’t ring any good bells. Chopal is way better.

  41. Muneeb says:
