Every quarter/yearly they are increasing earning revenue so i would like to ask one question then why they are more charging taxes or additional charges.
Mobilink like Telenor continues to deceive its users by increasing charges on “karachi unlimited” package(11pmto6pm- 19 hours) without properly informing users via sms about increase in package rates. So naturally by deceiving it continues to post good financial results..
Dear Saeed/Karachiite
The Taxes / Additional charges are not in hands of cellular companies either its Mobilink/Telenor or anyone else. These charges are fixed by Govt./FBR and adding revenues to Govt funds and not cellulars.
An EBIDTA of 41% is quite high for a competitive market. Mobilink/orascom continues to rip off its customers by over billing them. By the way, 34 million are not active subscribers. These days, most mobile users have at least 2 SIMs. Hence, active subscribers would be between 17-20 million.

Dont ever give any false report/understanding over it …media is too sharp these days and u should be sharp as well.
