We have successfully completed beta trial of ProPakistani SMS alerts, at this moment, we thought of sharing our experience with our readers.
It was wonderful as well very challenging for us to maintain the quality with scalability. Today there are more than 6,000 subscribers, while we sent more than 40,000 text messages during this beta trial that just ended.
ProPakistani SMS alerts were being received in 10 countries, worldwide, while most of them, i.e. 98 percent are from Pakistan.
We are temporarily discontinuing this service, and will kick the normal broadcast from January 1st, 2010, inshAllah. During this we will keep doing our home work for parallel service afterward.
We thank all our subscribers/readers for being with us.
Known Issues:
We were able to identify that ported numbers of Ufone (Either ported out of Ufone or Ported into Ufone) didn’t receive SMS Alerts. For the purpose, we tried contacting concerned companies, but unfortunately issue remain unresolved.
