  • I think this is a partial representation of the facts. If we evaluate the complaints in respect to their customer base that would be much better indicator of the problem.

  • Meri Bhi telenor k liye Complaint Karni Hai :
    Meri Sim Chal Rahi hai But Old Version hai 3G & 4G Not Supported (New 4G Sim Nikalwani Hai)
    telenor Kehte hai Apki Sim Nahi Nikal Sakti Apk Sim K Sath IVR Error Hai Jab tak Apki Sim Apk Pass Chal Rahi hai Chalate Rahe Us K Bad Dusri Khareed Le :
    Aisa Q Ye Kun Sa Qanoon Hai Main 06-Oct-2006 Se telenor ki Ek He Sim Chala Raha Ho Itna Bara DHOKA Mere Sath Q
    Kiya PTA Ko Complaint Kar Sakta ho ???

  • Wow Ufone had 9969 complaints out of 7002. Perhaps this’ the punishment for not going for 4G. #ProofReading

  • I do agree with the facts presented in this article. Telenor is really on the top of spammers list who are not only very aggressive on their marketing campaigns but also having no check and balance on the issuance of their Network SIMs through which so much scam messages and calls are made anonymously for malicious purposes and despite having SIM numbers, law enforcement agencies could not find any clue to curb these culprits activities.

  • Please make correction on Ufone complain numbers :

    ” Ufone had 9969 complaints against its various services which make up 14% of the total CMO related complaints, followed by Warid with 617 i.e. 8.8% complaints.”

  • Ufone is worst. They start a package with min price and then gradually increase the rates in the name of “service ki mayar ki behtri k liye’. Signal strength sab se gatya. Lol
