Whats different from the rest of the lot??
Author said “These services are not limited to Ufone subscribers” however Ufone SIM is required for Mobile Account which is same requirement as others. And Ufone said “Ufone is sure to offer services no other telecom provider has offered yet or in the near future”, can anyone tell me what unique feature do they have in their product?
product name only
lol where do they get these name upaisa/easypaisa they should come up with better name it looks like 10 yr old suggested this name and they approved it
easypaisa was acceptable because it was a new service, but now everyone know what the service is for, I think the companies want to target rural area only, so it’s not about innovation, it’s about reach.
Chor company hai es say tou allah he maaf karay
Good Move!!!!!
More Economical and Better Rates than Easy-Paisa !!!!!
Koi e-payments ka solution hi nikaal de… ya payza, money bookers, paypal, liberty reserve se hi link ker de… ya Virtual prepaid card hi nikaal de
Yes Adil, no progress in this market but I think moneybookers (now Skrill) is best PayPal alternative for Pakistani users. (FYI LibertyReserve is no more)
Try MCB prepay visa card
expensive , service charges are much .
Easypaisa is much better they deduct 60Rs from 1-1000
