“6A. Short Message Service (SMS) 9812.1710 Paisas twenty per SMS in addition to rate specified at serial number 6.”
This line is taken from finance bill 2009-10. Clearly word MMS is not mentioned in it. We also know Zong is offering 100 MMS a day, while Warid has a treat for its customers too with 250 MMS a day.
Question arises, if other companies can offer MMS too, at decreases rates and let the masses get familiar with MMS instead of SMS?
It will be more of like deceiving the system with technical grounds.
Comments from legal guys appriciated.
Update: SMS tax has been taken back by government of Pakistan
