Gprs Launch on Jazz is confirmed in next month !!!
Posted by umerhayat
For last two years when ever i call on the help line and ask them that when gprs will start on jazz , they reply , in one month. Is this that kind of confirmation or some real real time launch this time and in only 5 cities or in all country

Mobilink while reigns supreme in the current market share(48%) ranks low in customer service and quality.
Obviously when people had little or few choices everyone opted for Mobilink but things are changing fast.Its market share has dropped sharply from 62% at one point to 48% now and is declining gradually.
And look at what they offer to people.
Once I loaded their Rs.300 card onto my current balance of Rs.275 so it summed up to Rs.575 and I was happy but when I woke up one morning I found my balance had turned zero.I called up Mobilink guys and they said "Yeh tu hota hai".
I mean look at these robbers they are ripping people's hard earned credit balances quietly.If you load up their Rs.300 card it is valid one month only.If you don't consume it, it turns zero...what the **ck !!
Today companies are offering long time valid cards,Telenor is valid 5 years,Warid one year and look at these Mobilink people they are valid one month.
I hope they see their business go down gradually.

Somebosy please tell us what happens when:
Suppose I get a new Warid prepaid connection now with a new SIM but leave for abroad and return after 3 years.What will happen to my connection?Will I retain my number?
Will I be able to replace or get a new SIM with the same number?

@Mus24 It will only be blocked and u can unblock it freely and use the same SIM

Bilal,thanks for the reply.

Mobilink provides confusing info about its tariffs and packages:
It seems that stiff competition has still not waken up Mobilink from its inefficient customer services although it has been penalized a few times by PTA but invain.
If anyone has to find out its calling rates and tariffs,it gives out different rates on its website,call center and printed guides as if to deliberately confuse an average subscribe as to what actually the reality is.
For instance,when one calls 111,the info provided is strange.It says 'an extra surcharge of Rs.3 will be charged on every international SMS'.What is this extra charge and why didn't we know about it?
Mobilink Jazz's calls to same network are still the highest at Rs.4.20 per minute whereas other networks charge an average of Rs.2 per min(same network).
Then the call center provides confusing info about validity of the scratch cards.It says cards with denomination of Rs.600 and above are valid for 6 months while a retailers say all cards are valid 6 months but the Mobilink's main office staff told me that easy-loads are valid one month only.
All this is very confusing and it seems in this age of competition Mobilink is still bent upon earning revenues by confusing its subscribers by giving out different info and charging another tariff in reality.
It is no surprising PTA has given a deadline to Mobilink to get its act together and perk up its services or else face a stiff penalty of $300 million coming soon.

Hi every one.I am having problem with warid gprs for nearly 15 days.Before that it was working fine.Now when i connect it the byte upload is ok and fast speed.The bytes down load is nothing only few kb.So no browsing ,no messenger nothing works.When i call help line they give usual solutions like.1- please clear your browser cache ,off and then on your handset 2-please delete old settings and then download settings again and all will fine.3-this time there is congestion on network so gprs speed is slow. But these dumb things never help and helpline is usually useless.I am in faislabad and using nokia 6600.Any one can help then please tell me soon.I do not know for what they cut 64rupees per month.Warid Gprs is really third class these days,more over when ever i call on help line to add some number on friend family or for some thing else they start asking the id card number and etc etc,just to waste you time
Posted by radarblip609
Umer thanx for updating us with the Warid GPRS quality.
So there can be one solution only for you. Migrate back to Ufone GPRS. I wonder why you are you using the expensive Warid GPRS instead of Ufone GPRS.

@radar.I am using warid because many people has bought warid and call price is less and i have to make many calls these days.So gprs price high but was stable and over all spending of money had become much less due to low call rates.So now as gprs is not working at all so i am moved to the telenor because of good call rate and 250 rupee extra on 500 rupees loading. Earth quake is a sad thing. Not any damage in the fsd area.God have mercy on us because there can be more earth quake in next 3 to 4 days. Regards . Umer

Here in Islamabad The Margalla towers collapsed in Earth quake,very near to us and I was going to my university and passing by the side of it.

Does somebody know what are the taxes levied on call charges other than the 15% GST?
Somebody in this forum said there were a total of 27% taxes charged on a single call?Is it true?Or is it just the 15% GST thats all.
Thanks.

@Bilal: good that you escaped. I saw a video of its collapse made on a mobile phone on Geo. Why didnt you make one at that time?
@Mus: Can you pinpoint that post so that chap can tell you in detail, hmm?

Rates for 3-min calls on prepaid plans
(inclusive of all taxes)
From one carrier to another
Telenor Rs.10.60
Warid Rs.11.43 (10.47)
Mobilink Rs.20.75
Within network:
Telenor Rs.6.80
Warid Rs.7.62 (5.71)
Mobilink Rs.10.28
*amount in bracket shows off-peak rates
This clearly shows how Mobilink is ripping off its subscribers with high tariff rates and hidden charges.
I came to know of this when I made call from Jazz to a local PTCL number.I noticed the exact balance in my account before and after the call.The call lasted only 13 seconds but I was charged Rs.5.50 for it.
If 3.45 per min is what they advertise the tariff then 5.50 is an increase of a whopping 58% more which far exceeds all taxes combined.
Obviously there are hidden charges that an ordinary call doesn't know but Mobilink deducts it automatically.
What a rip off !

salaams,
I am a currently Ufone subscriber and formerly mobilink subscriber.
Ufone has the cheapest off net charges.
Ufone 3 minute rates:
Rs 8.64 (other network)
Rs 8.64 (same network peak)
Rs 5.19 (same network off peak)
As far as mobilink is concerned (other network):
Rs 3.45 + 15% tax Rs 0.52 + interconnect Rs 1.6 = Rs 5.57
So simple..one needs to have maths to know the rates. U say the call billed Rs 5.5. Thats correct. Though these are old rates.
Now for simplicity, mobilink has given a flat rate of Rs 4.7 (exclusive of tax) on other network.

aainpk,maybe you overlooked Mobink Jazz's tariff that they have posted on their site:
Its 4.70/min other networks excluding taxes.Leys work it out:
4.70+0.70(GST)+0.47(WHT)= Total Rs.5.87 per min
For 3 mins:5.87 x 3= Rs.17.61
Simple math,isn't it?.

@mus24
brother, i just calculated the 1 minute mobilink tariff (OMN) (for older mobilink rates). I didnt added the 10% initial tax cut. Sorry for that.

Rs 3.45 + 15% tax Rs 0.52 + interconnect Rs 1.6 = Rs 5.57 |
But i never calculated the three minute tariff of the new rates by mobilink. I just wrote:

Dear Mr. MSheikh,
We are talking about the service a company is offering. Now that may be good or bad. and this is the place to discuss it. Sure, they would be putting in a lot of effort but that doesn't mean that their service is outstanding. They sure have the best deals in market, yet their customer service is pethetic. I am trying to dial 321 for a week now from pre-paid package and have not been able to do so. Ironically, yesterday I dialed the same number(helpline) from a post-paid package of a friend, and it got connected, wow. So u see, they do not serve the pre-paid customers. moreover, I have used their Diamond package for 4 months and service was excellent. Now I have a new pre-paid connection, and I have already mentioned the results. As far as their website is concerned, I am searching for the International Zone division for past 20 minutes for no result.
So my friend, customers always see what a company has to offer and with what quality. After all they are not providing its service for free. And no one has asked warid to lower their rates. the have done it as they want to be competitive. So Warid has to improve in a lot of areas. I am Warid user for 8 months now and have a lot to share but I think this is sufficient for everyone's information.
Regards,
Iqbal
