Mobilink and its parent company, VimpelCom, have partnered with Twitter, a microblogging service with over 320 million monthly active users, to introduce for the first time in Pakistan an innovative self-care customer service called #Mobilinkcare.
This initiative, for now only being launched by VimpelCom on Mobilink’s platform out of its other 13 business units, enables subscribers to get answers to their basic queries related to Mobilink’s services directly in their Twitter Direct Messages (inbox). For example, if customers want to know their balance, a tweet with hashtag #balance to @Mobilink lands them their current balance on their Direct Message.
Asif Aziz, VP Marketing – Mobilink, said:
Mobilink believes in continuous innovation, may it be our product offerings or customer care services. Ensuring subscriber queries are answered successfully in least amount of time is an ever evolving mechanism at our company.
This landmark partnership with Twitter has various benefits for brand Mobilink, and can be heralded as a game changer in the industry. The service will allow us to reduce existing traffic on our customer care centers, assists us in promoting our latest offerings, while allowing increased engagement between our brand and customers.
Talking about the roadmap for #Mobilinkcare, he further added:
We also intend to bring our recharge and bundle subscription facilities on to the Twitter platform in the coming months.” With the launch of Mobilinkcare on Twitter, Mobilink becomes only the third telecom to implement such unique services for its customers.

Sounds good but the video is amateurish to say the least, doesn’t bode well for VP Marketing to appear in such a badly shot and edited AV.
What you can’t do using USSD strings? On zong, I get a menu to access all zong services upon sending *310#, and there is an android app too where I can watch even my call and sms details and subscribe and unsubscribe from packages.
