waisay aisa lagta hay Telenor nay aihsta aihsta brand kay naam per Djuice aik alag company bana le hay single cellular license main.
this is very encouraging for all the software students to come forward and display their skills.A great initiative taken from djuice.i hope they will continue to provide these opportunities to the students and professionals, which will increase the competition and quality as well.
Djuice is very expensive … i really hate their packages, they have never come up with any useful SMS package.
They should focus on introducing some awesome SMS packages then they should focus on anything else !
i think the sms packages they are giving right now is enogh for day to day usage like cnatting around but as far as forwarded messages concern and spamming peoples with lots of sms daily then a daily package of 1200 sms in 3.99 will be less for you lol
Sorry to say but i dunno when peoplex in pakistan going to leave that trend =.=
and then pro paki will bash djuice for destroying a whole nasal and what not. this is what the people want and this is only how companies will make money.cheap and call packages
