  • that interesting development.. looks like Mobilink, Telenor and Zong are having tough fight

  • I am another unhappy ufone customer these days and seriously thinking to switch from ufone…so add one more in negative subscription of ufone.

    • i am also a ufone customer and dont think i will ever leave them..acually dont like the service but i have to travel abroad frequently and ufone gives free roaming and no need of activation or balance requirement..auto activated wherever you go

      • A lot good things earlier made my mind to choose ufone…this was one of them as well. free roaming and free incoming sms in roaming but what’s the purpose if during 95% of the usage period I wouldnt get any benefit.

        • yeah you are right but my time was 50/50 actually and i started with ufone at time when only mobilink was the other option and ufone was quite good at that time even 5 years back it was good but now i can’t change my number or cant even port to other and then back after 2 months for roaming

  • I guess in the comming months we are gonna see massive improvment in warid subscribers

    #waridLTe :D

  • ZERO (0) net addition for Telenor for month of Feb 2014!!!

  • WARID didn’t got 4G / LTE License specifically… WARID license is technology independent and they can provide any service using there license.
