  • if anyone has symbian phone than leave your media player running in the background with your fav song and let the fun begun wothout paying even a single paisa.

  • I think then we make a call media is going to pause u check it again.
    And the other end ufone need to atention on call rates and quality not such service every body knows ufone is falling day by day

  • LOLZZZ these type of offers can attract good number of students and labor class… Ufone keep it up focusing on these two segments of market who don’t have enough money to spend and don’t focus on the segments of market who actually earn and spend enough money.

  • FIRST UFONE SHOULD CONSENTRATE ON SIGNAL AND SERIVICE QUALITY AND THEN THESE KIND OF SERVICES.
    KARACHI IS THE MAIN CITY OF PAKISTAN BUT WE ARE NOW FACING THE PROBLEM OF WEAK SIGNALS AND CALL DROP.
    SO UFONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THIS.
    THANKS….

    • @ Zubair
      There is a up-gradation in South Region i.e. Karachi and Sindh so you might be facing signal and connectivity issues in Ufone Network. As Ufone is having its own Optimization team working along with Huawei team I wonder if they have benchmarking KPIs for network performance like Telenor and Warid.

  • I don’t know where Ufone is heading, why would someone need a BGM when mostly on ufone we have to put extra efforts to listen the other party? Plus their TVC team is creating Rubbish ads these days . . .

  • Rajal786 media player is working fine in backgroung in Nokia 6630. don`t know about other sets but mostly this trick works.

  • Instead of coming up with useless and silly offers,Ufone should introduce weekly SMS package to all prepaid packages, which is currently available only on Life packages.

  • No wonder why Ufone has come down to the 4th position from the 2nd in the cellular market. Despite that they are promoting such ethically wrong and telling people to cheat their parents and bosses and telling lie to people. Shame on Ufone’s marketing team who has developed this service.

    Ufone should think about it again is this something what their moral values allow them to do ???

    Ufone should be banned we should all raise our voice and protest against it

  • google is my best friend.m feel very proud when i rescerh in google. thanx GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGLE
