There are rumors in the Market that SMS services may get blocked this week (most probably from May 1st, 2009); however no official words yet from any side on this news.
This rumor basically originated from multiple news bureaus, but no newspaper carried this news later on. Reports were that government has started thinking seriously about blocking SMS services in the country, or at least some parts of the country.
We know that SMS services were blocked in Islamabad during Long March 2009.
When we discussed the issue with a high official of a cellular company, he said that cellular companies are not informed of any such thing. He further said that cellular companies will not remain quite if any such action is taken by the government; the reason is that cellular companies make 7 to 10 percent of their revenues through SMS services.
On other hands, mobile subscribers, especially youngsters have showed their initial response to Rehman Malik’s statement, which said government, may consider blocking SMS services if used illegally.
Again, there is nothing official yet, so let’s hope this rumor will die as the week will proceed.
Mr. Abdul-Rehman Malik is the worst interior minister i have ever seen
Intaha-e-Zulm, aur kya kahoon?
Allah puche ga vote kinu paya si?
just a rumor!
I think this is good
jo government aur kuch nahi kar saki , wo sms service block kar k khush ho jaye gi , lol
I think there is no any justifiable reason for blocking such a nice service.
As it is not only a cost-effective service but had facilitated the communication among the youngsters.It is the most decent broadcasting service.
…………. yaar yeh rumors phailanay walay kon log hain ?
bohut ghalat baat hay sms service block karna,
btw, How about having a poll that asks
“Do you think that SMS Service should be blocked in Pakistan”?
let me tell you results in advance, 99.9 percent votes went against such decision…
SMS is one of the last few things in this country which has kept up the morale of the young generation in the current circumstances. However we Pakistanis should also understand that if such an action will indeed help in our national Jihad against the terrorists and Pseudo-Islamic forces, then it would be a small sacrifice given the nature and severity of the threat facing our Nation. But unfortunately our Government has not ahown itself to be competent enough that we can trust them to handle this issue as it should be.
zardari ki government sirf logou ko takleef dene k siva aur kuch nahi kar sakti kabhi sms block kara k tou kabhi double sawari per pabandi laga kar they all are bull shit
double sawari sa larkuu ko kia faraq parta ha….
Kal ko phone lines bhi bandh hojae gi kyun ke terrorist log phone use karte hai…
Blocking SMS service will also add up in less revenues to Government.I think SMS service might get blocked because this service is used in promoting hatred against Government.
If SMS gets blocked, ther are mnay alternatives, which are as follows:
May be cellular companies go for MMS packages (Just like Warid).
Telecos can reduce the rates for Voice SMS and make its receiving free.
Telecos can use Push to Talk service supporting each other in their PTT service.
Lets hope telecos, make themself prepare of the BAN.
i think faraz was relative of musheer-e-daakhla..
blocking sms for some political events can be useful to avoid rumors since some people out there feel like they are running a sms news channel in the country…sms rumors are very common like “farooq sattar shot dead”, “bomb blast in raiwand,sharif killed” n many more crappy messages!
sms news channels are killing our nation i guess n blocking them for some events like 10th moharram, any huge rally or stuff…
thank you for your time!
-\bid.
Uffff yah zulammmmm nai hona chaye nahiiiiiiiiiiii
we are against this!!!!!!!
Mobile SMS block nahi hone chahea but sms charge kam se kam 10 rupay hone chahea. SMS sasta hone se kuch jahal apni demaghe halat ko har kisi se arz karna shuru kar dete hain. aur nahi kuch ata to khali sms bhej te rahte hain bachare….. is ma zada kasur mobile companies ka hai k competetion k chakkar may rate itne low k ye to honahe ta.
Yeah Kya badmashi hay janb …….
Zulm k yeah Zabtay hum nhee mantay…..
SMS Service block hoe gi, us ki koi riot hoe gi and resulting in “DOUBLE SAWARI BAND” by our government.
