Ufone has introduced one of its kind service that allows you to select a name instead of your number, where others can call you.
Called as Star Name, this can be your nick, date of birth, zodiac sign or any other thing that is unique and special to you.
How it works?
Once you have selected your start name, others can call you by dialing * followed by the name you have chosen. Suppose, if my star name is AHSAN (which surely isn’t) you can call me by dialling *AHSAN i.e *24726
How to Register:
- You can register your star name by sending it to 3113
Charges:
- This service has subscription charges of Rs 3.75 per week
Terms & Conditions:
- Only one Star Name can be acquired on one primary number
- Booking is possible only on primary number
- Call charges will be deducted as per package plan
- This service is not useful for incoming and out going international roamers
- Off net and international calls and SMS are not possible with Star Name
- SMS to 3113 will not be charged
Nice innovation, but high fee is being charged…. Well, i am using new 30 seconds package of Ufone. Really good one.
— Nice innovation, but high fee is being charged
Rs 3.75/week is high? Even if taxes apply that is less than Rs 250 PER YEAR.
Very good service.
Another name of advertisement !!
so it means people from other network have to dial the actual no instead of *abc
bas theek he hai. means phone number k sath aik aur number mask ho jaye ga?
Hi Brothers keep in mind it work only with ufone numbers, means anyone having ufone can call u using *abc….
yes this is we called different idea
this service will work only within ufone’s own numbers. Someone calling from telenor, mobilink etc cannot dial *name.
So is this service useful? well… i dont think so…
Not good. They should charged once only then we can think…
Someone plz tell me how you convert alphabet to numbers – like *AHSAN to *24726.
Ammar look at your phone keyboard, you will see ABC written, press the button which has your desired letter.
For example, if you are going to type AMMAR, look A is on number 2, so press 2, M is on number 6 and it is double M so 66, 2 for A again and then 7 for R.
i.e. AMMAR to 26627
Tip: Turn on your mobile dictionary and try typing in English, you will get it easily.
Full On mari hai Ufone ne :-S
[Comment Edited]
An old concept, Zong did this years ago when it was launched. Moreover, for UAN numbers, this is an ancient concept now.
Why can’t telecoms or business come up with creative ideas rather than copying old concepts.
Beside this, the querty key pads will make it a failure again.
Please please tell me how can i unsubscribe this service………..i registered this number but now i want to unsubscribe it……….please help me and tell me the how can i get rid of this service?? Many thanks in advance….
