Now that’s the right decision, Bhai is matter mein Warid better raha hai, us ne call rates ki “Mitti paleet” nahi ki thi jitni other networks ne, hopefully rest of operators will also follow this forestep of Mobilink Giant. Aur wese bhi is Govt. Mein jis ne jo kerna hai ker lo, Jiay Bhutto!

WhiteCow you lie just like that. Mobilink is poor and poor mgmt x poor service = user churn

Now thats the right equaAaaa

i didnt understand why operator hit the real user of mobile phones. that is the one that use phone for their business and real communication. and they all use simple all network packages.

they should increase rates on youth packages where call rates are still around 2 rs per hour

Mr. WhiteCrow – Rates increase karnay say koe faida hai kia Services tu pehlay jaise hi hai.

Aur yeh companies tu itna kuch kamaa rahe hai tu opar say aur faida.

Actually, this should improve servcies… first the companies were deadlocked in dropping prices without doing anything abt the quality of the network. Now if they stabalize the charging at a certain point, they can finally concentrate on other goals like network swaps. At least 2 operators will be doing that this year.

This had to happen sometime. They can’t go much lower without reducing profit margins to unhealthy levels. Adjusting for inflation and the weakening rupee, even letting rates stay constant is same as reducing them. Still call rates in Pakistan are at or near the lowest in the world.

So, what’s new here? These companies we charging too much hidden charges. Like Mobilink deducts 2% service charges on each load, also there are many other charges which they charge but customer don’t know.

I am totally fed up with all this mobile companies, all are same but with just number games only.

I am amazed why we are making such hue and crue…. GOVT raises petrol, Electricity, GAS and food items prices almost every month and also in rupees not in paisa’s. These telecom companies also operate in Pakistan’s environment and have direct influence of price hike. They are here for business not for social service.

Why arent they advertising it the way they do when they reduce the rates?! :P

  By the way, Telenor packages also have big Catch in their plans. Better you control use of SMS and calls…then any package is suitable for normal man.

I think Telcos must increase prices of SMS too. SMS has become addiction of our society and derailing our youngsters from right actions to wrong actions.

Telecom services should be used at the time of need….not like that it become addiction. Really SMS and late night packages are playing big role in spreading Sexting (not texting) in our society.

Do you think that after arrival of 3G in country, Telecom will be able to sell lot of mintues and SMS? Majority of city population will start buying low end smart phones and will be able to communicate seamless with their dear ones through many VOIP and that kind of services. Viber, Tango, Skype, Whatsapp are in top list. :)
