@ڈفر, yea indeed – i am already planning to buy one, to be attached with my laptop. Rs. 484 per month (including taxes) is acceptable money for the value being offered.
I hope upfront price will be under limits
@Aamir Attaa,
well tata is giving 512 kpps or 1 mbps internet speed. so do u think we can get any thing close to it ?? i dunt think edge has enough power :(
I have listened the ad of ZONG EDGE card on Apna Karachi FM 107 morning (Adeel Azhar) show today (10 November). I think, it has been launched.
@Usman Afzal, ahan…. maybe, but we are not officially informed about the launch of Zong’s EDGE Card.
Can you share any pricing details please? if Available?
Pricing details was not announced in the ad.

mobile se pc per zonginternet bohat harab hai yar is se connect to ho ta hai likin web pages nai kulta
@ali, This may be the problem of cell tower in your area. First of all, check that you can browse, download contents through your GPRS or EDGE enabled mobile’s WAP browser (or Opera Mini web browser). It also depends on modem speed of your mobile. My Samsung E200 has modem speed of EDGE class 10. When mobile is connected to PC through USB connection (using Zong unlimited GPRS package), I can browse websites like Google, Yahoo, GEO tv, Youtube, Gmail. I can check (also sending emails/ chatting etc) my emails easily through Gmail.com site. But for Youtube streaming, video need to load completely first (otherwise you will get pauses), then play it. The file download speed is in range of 5–8 kilobytes/ sec using “File Save As” option of browser but if you use download manager like “FlashGet” then speed will increase from above mentioned. And last thing, wireless connections are very much dependent on area location. My area is Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi.
@Usman Afzal, yar yai get flash kia hai yai software mere email per sent kar [email protected]
@ARSLAN, You can download FlashGet 1.9.6 version from here:

Unfortunately it’s use full for rich people,but nothing for middle class people,zong unlimited gprs plan is good but for 400 Rs we have to pay approx 110 Rs govt tax.Govt should consume their taxes.(
@Imran laghari, I am using Zong unlimited GPRS package on my mobile and monthly 484 rupees (tax included) are charging. So tax is 84 rupees (not 110 rupees). Please correct it.

Hi to all,
I would like to say only one thing to all the discussions above & that is all the offers from all the companies suck een the PTCL usb sucks which according to them tehy say that users will get a download speed of 500kb in urban areas all rubbish.
If anyone living in pakistan wants to buy something that is good to what they say & offer 24/7 than the only answer is WORLDCALL USB internet. I have 1mbps internet usb WORLDCALL connection. The usb cost me Rs.3999/- & monthly I pay Rs.1800/- with unlimited & I mean unlimited download & upload unlike other companies that say unlimited to 1.5gb per month. Even in my room I get 80 percent signals which very inside but still no problem with the connection. ook it to gujranwala & was I impressed it delivered amazing signal capacity.
WORLDCALL ROCKS. HIP HIP HURREY. 2 Thumbs up
