yessssss… ufone rockss
as much as i’d like to praise the Telecom Operators for their cheap sms packages, I’d also like to express my extreme dislike for their idiotic move of disabling Delivery Reports, then putting the pirates-like charges on checking your balance via text, and above all that, charging 5% of the total load as ’service charges’.
Now being a shiftee from Zong to Ufone, i hate them even more that i’ve subscribed to a big sms package, but a day before that i subscribed to their night package (thinking i needed it for one night only).
Now though, I can’t find a way to disable they night package and they charge me for night sms package every day while i do haev the 10000/1000 sms package of 14 days.
I don’t know what kind of monkeys programmed uFone’s system, but it makes pretty much sense to check if the user should be charged for another night sms package if he ALREADY HAS 1000 SMS bundle.
impressive research,keep it up
Interesting, Zong has more monthly SMS traffic this year then Warid and Mobilink combined!!
Em afraid of the thing taht…PTA wont struck off those employees, who leaked this to you
Very unrealistic data :S
take ufone..
10000 Million sms in Jun 09
10000/30/20 = approx. 16 sms/day/sub
its true many of us make sms greater than 16/day but on average to all subs it seems ambiguous.
next month ufone will be above 12,000. their new 1 rupee package of 300 sms per night is exact on target.. its good for ufone but not at all for young generation.
warid suxx!!!
Warid the best quality operator SMS with delivery report no other is offering this now
Delivery report is useless… and it irritates… you send a msg and another comes…imagine group msgs… huh…
In my opinion, delivery report is a very important feature for 90% of SMSs i send. Atleast I know if my message has been received!
Dear Amir
After long time , I have seen good report on Telecom Indicator Analysis, but you have not mention about the source. Because we want to validate this report. Therefore, kindly also add how much reliable this report is? over all Congrats for this report, no doubt it is good work.
Zeeshan bro – you know that telcos don’t public such stats, but thanks to sources we brought this information to you. Mentioning them won’t be possible, and you can trust ProPakistani regarding validity as you have been doing for quite some time now.
