  • aamir bhai is photo ki jan chor do ab. ya ye zaati taur par pasand hy apko/? @aamir7:disqus

  • I wonder how Mobilink and specially Ufone managed to grab so many 3G customers despite the fact that they have limited 3G coverage and poor speed. Zong has much better coverage and in terms of speed Zong is second to none.

    • I’ve been observing the same since the day when Ufone started 3G. It’s providing expensive packages as compared to the other networks, but I’m amazed how its number of users are increasing despite the reason. Sometimes it does seem to me a fake info-graphics.

  • The photo is not from Pakistan. Its some middle eastern country. Also, do yo u have permission to share this photo? or acknowledgement?
