  I’ve been using Warid for about 3 Years,Never faced any problem related to Coverage and Quality. I found only WARID the best network in PAKISTAN – undoubtedly!
  
  Their recently launched offers (Power Pack, Ghanta Offer, SMS Bundles, Advance Balance etc)are simple awesome. I’m lovin’ it :D
  - Umair
    
    yes , you are right , warid has best network in all , because of low user accessibility i think,,, , i personally recommended warid for business point of view.,
  - Mudi
    
    I got Warid Postpaid and a Prepaid (ported from ufone) connections.. Undoubtedly Warid is the best Network for its quality of service!

Why can’t Ufone even reach near Telenore???? I’ve been expecting for years now that ufone would over take telenore but telenore seems to be cursing.

Can anyone tell me is telenore service better than ufone’s???
- umair
  
  yes telenor is far better then ufone im using since 2005
  - RizwanYaqoob
    
    Telenor being 2nd largest cellular network in Pakistan has worst ever customer support!
    
    I had some issues with my Telenor connection (Random activation date when SMS to 667) and I’ve registered more than 12 complains through Care-Line and through emails as well but after a month still my problem is there and they don’t care about their customer. For all those who say TELENOR is best blah blah… Its the most worst network ever!! I HATE IT :/
    
    Where as UFONE takes up your complain to higher level and they confirm to their customers by calling them whether problem has been resolved or not! That’s what I love about UFONE, they care about their customers! :)
- faisal
  
  Telenor is even far better than Mobilink , I have been & ( will continue ) using Telenor sim since many years & never faced problems.
  
  feels like that their rates are a fraction high than others but their coverage is AWESOME.
  
  ITS QUALITY NETWORK AGAINST MONEY . & THE CUSTOMER GETS THE BENEFIT. NO DOUBT
  
  I travel a lot in Pakistan & where all fail I have full network of Telenor . My international calls are connected in first instant with clear voice but I don’t use SMS as I don’t have time for these.
  
  I was in Murrey a few days back & had Telenor sim with full coverage on Mall road , others ( Warid ,Ufone ) were all OUT ..

    Warid is also working in whole muree and surrounding also I went to Thandiani (abottabad) Warid as working throughout whole journey and Telenor had lot of pockets.
    Used Warid, Telenor and May be link
    Now using Warid and found best since last four years.
    - exp
      
      Ufone packages k hisaab se best hai ,telenor sab se expensive hai.
      - RizwanYaqoob
        
        no doubt!!
Jawad

Telenor is far beter then ufone
- RizwanYaqoob
  
  Telenor se SMS shaam 6 baje bhejo raat 11 baje milta hai, Network wo jo reliable ho like WARID n UFONE!
  - khalid
    
    telenor ka internet package 3mb for 4RS. LOL
    
    3mb main sirf check kar saktey hain internet chal bhi raha hai ya nahi:P
Zaki

Ufone Double Deal: 10,000 SMS and 3 GB Internet in Rs. 200

http://propakistani.pk/2012/07/16/ufone-double-deal-10000-sms-and-3-gb-internet-in-rs-200/

Such Packages will Surely Get Ufone to quite higher level………. provided, Ufone does not compromise its quality of service.
Interesting

Aamir,

It would be great if you could publish the revenues of each company also. Market share is one thing but revenues will also give us a further insight of how companies are performing.

Bahi saib, aap loog saray telenor, ufone, mobilink kalina band karo. All operators are good and providing the stat of art support to their customer.

  Agreed with above
  
  Agar kisi k sath kuch bura howa ha tu yaar, baqi log tu service sa happy han :) i use Ufone & telenor im happy with both of them :) never face any kind of problem :)

i’m really not surprised to read this. What else could you expect from our hardworking public?? The advancement in this filed is the only thing they can do & are doing without any general problem. It’s ok if you don’t have anything for supper but it’ll make difference if your pocket is out of any cell. This is what our common think is.
Syed Fahad Yunas

Can anyone please tell me how PTA or Cellular operators are estimating their subscriber base.
Is it based on the total number of connections sold, or number of individuals (meaning one NIC card treated as one subscriber irrespective of how many SIM cards he has). Do the operators take into consideration the approximate churn rate when estimating their subscriber base?

Sorry I am a technical guy and new to this economic stuff.

I’ve been using both Warid as primary and Telenor as Secondary sim. I have had no problems with both the networks, the customer support for both telecom have been very helpful and service centre operatives are efficient.

As far as signal strength is concerned, I believe Warid’s signal strength has improved over the years and Telenor’s signal strength is very good.

Price factor, Warid has better postpaid packages, as for Telenor it suppports good prepaid packages.

I would suggest telecommunication giants to introduce inter-network roaming so that subscriber of any network can connect to any other network and host company should charge guest company on time or usage basis. Guest company would alternatively charge its subscriber. Thus mobile user will be able to connect and use the strong network everywhere throughout the country of their choice.
