Warid Telecom has announced the launch of the industry’s first shared plans with its LTE MiFi today.
The MiFi device functions as a portable wireless router that can connect up to 10 smartphones, tablets or laptops, whereby users will have access to LTE speed internet on the go in all major cities around Pakistan.
Warid has said that MiFi devices are secure as no other device can access the network without authentication by the MiFi owner.
Not just that, the battery life of MiFi devices goes up to six hours adding to the customer’s convenience.
An initial cost of Rs. 9,999 acquires the MiFi device with an LTE enabled SIM as well as an entitlement to 35GB worth of free internet every month for three months consecutively.
A further option of three plans is given in the range of 15-35GB priced between Rs. 1,500 and 3,000.
This offer available is for all Warid customers and can be opted for by using Warid’s online portal and logging in with your mobile number.
Warid has become the first operator in Pakistan to introduce shared LTE plans, with which customers — both prepaid and postpaid — can choose up to two additional Warid numbers to share an internet plan and a common bill whenever and wherever they are.
Shared plans are applicable to both LTE device as well as MiFi device users.
As an example, if there’s is a customer and he has 35GB of monthly data limit then he can go to Warid’s online portal to add up to two additional numbers to share this quota of 35GBs and those two shared numbers won’t be charged anything for the internet.
Mr. Asim Ali, Director Pricing, Segments & VAS at Warid Telecom, while commenting on this industry-first said,
“We are committed to delivering the state-of-the-art technology that empowers our customers and makes their lives easier.
Warid MiFi is designed to connect users to the mobile Internet with their own portable hotspot, so they can stay connected to the people and information important to them.”
