Don't know whats the problem and no one is attending the helpline.I think Telenor in Pakistan has not the same quality as Telenor in Norway. I think Warid will be better then it because its network is build by world no.1 company ERRICSSON. have same problems with SMS. I have heard from friend that SMS is free upto 31st May.And it is confirmed that Warid will start selling its mobile connections from 23rd May 04:00 PM.They are launching in 28 cities from the first day.Thier main office is in Lahore.The list of the 28 cities are Lahore,Shiekhupura,Kasur,Gujranwala,Sialkut,Hafizabad,Gujrat,Mandi-Bahauddin,Jehlum,Multan,Bahawalpur,Rahimyaarkhan,Muzafrabad,
Faisalabad,Sargodha,Okara,Sahiwal,Islamabad,Rawalpindi,Abbottabad,
Attock,Peshawar,Noshera,Deraismailkhan,Karachi,Haderabad,Sakkhar,
Koitta.Thier GSM code is "0321" and helpline 111-111-321, I will definitely switch to Warid at the first day. Infact they have signed many agreements with different companies on 12 May. Beside mobile services warid is providing LDI/WLL services. Warid has obtained 14 licences for LDI/WLL services and many other companies also obtained licences for WLL today from PTA. There was a total of 106 licences. I have copied about WLL/LDI network from warid website read the detail here........
Warid Telecom was recently awarded a license to operate mobile services in Pakistan for US $291 million. In addition, Warid Telecom also holds a license to operate Long Distance & International (“LDI”) and Wireless Local Loop ("WLL") activities.
The main services being provided under Warid Telecom’s LDI license include:
Management of internationally originated voice and data traffic terminating into Pakistan (International Gateway).
Management of nationally originated voice and data traffic terminating both in Pakistan and Overseas (National Origination).
Data and Value Added Services, such as Corporate Solutions, IP Telephony, VPNs, Data Warehousing, Data Connectivity etc. (Data & VAS).
There are several potential LDI candidates and Warid Telecom foresees intense competition in the market. Warid Telecom’s stated strategy is to provide superior quality of service based on competitive pricing as it believes that ensuring certain key performance indicators is critical. A critical element to Warid Telecom’s strategy is to work with key Strategic Partners to allow Warid Telecom to focus on its core competencies while leveraging its Partner’s strength.
Warid Telecom believes that there are many untapped opportunities and has created a “Pick & Mix” modular format for its partners to evaluate which opportunities they wish to leverage.
(i) International Gateway (Inbound Termination of Minutes by Warid Telecom)
The current PTCL official rate is US18.05c based on an APC rate of US12.05c. There tend to be many hidden additional costs with calls terminating on existing operators along with significant administrative issues. Warid Telecom operates on a transparent basis. The intention is to provide lucrative terms to our Partners based on a cost plus basis to create long term business opportunities.
(ii) Outbound International Termination
Currently all traffic originated by customers in Pakistan is terminated through PTCL to 3rd party international operators. To date this market has severely been stifled as a consequence of excessive pricing and poor quality of service (i.e. individuals cannot get international connectivity at peak hours due to network congestion and pricing to date has come down by 50%). The market has proven to be highly price elastic. Warid Telecom intends to generate and grow this business substantially through its mobile LDI and WLL activities over the next 3 years in conjunction with its partners.
(iii) Nationwide & International Traffic Origination in Pakistan
The Pakistan market is highly entrepreneurial with a large mushroom market. Furthermore, through customer pre-select/select services (e.g. four digit access codes) and Wireless Local Loop, Warid Telecom believes that there is significant customer and O&M market potential for the origination of nationwide and international traffic. Warid Telecom would like to work with companies to create win-win business initiatives. Warid Telecom believes that there are business opportunities in the following areas:
Calling Cards Partners: White labeled or Co-branded Calling Card Platform for which our partners will focus on Sales & Marketing initiatives to create strong local or national calling card distribution networks.
Payphone Operators: Using 4 digit access services Pay Phone Operators will be able to enjoy preferential rates from Warid Telecom.
Corporate and High end user retail market using customer selection / pre-select services.
O&M and Other Agent Partners: O&M agreements and agency terms for wholesale, corporate and retail opportunities providing the end customer with cheaper telephony rates and lucrative returns for Warid Telecom’s O&M partners and agents.
iv) Data & Value Added Services
Warid Telecom will focus on providing the following services to its potential clientele:
IP Telephony
Internet Access
Point to point and point to multi point connectivity such as VPNs or IP VPNs
Disaster recovery, financial transaction verification
It is Warid Telecom’s belief that most companies are underestimating the potential of this market. Already Warid Telecom has approached several large organizations with multi point locations that have shown an interest in this bundled solution.

Now telenor working fine. Some times at evening some delay in sms sending. Some 5 to 15 minute. In day timings its smooth. Every thing else also working fine. Lets see this warid what it brings as every company wants to earn money. So they just drop price a little to attract people to their net works. So i do not expect some thing big by them. Just a little more competition to make the calls little more cheaper and also some price drop in the gprs price. May be free sms as on tele nor now.

Hi. Does warid has spoken some thing officially about its services or packages. All i see in adds is the date of connection supply and the name of the cities in which it is supplying. I think they will disclose package at the day of connection supply and keep prices low from all others. So before others drop price in response they already sell lot of sims. But what ever. When any one knows some official world. Then let us know about it. @Radar. There are rumors that warid will supply EDGE. So wait till 23 and then see that they are true or false. Regards. Umer

I'm so happy that i work for Norways bigest Telecompany - Telenor.
The home place for Telenor is Norway. But Telenor is seen as one of the biggest Tele companys in the world.

Hi All,
I am sure that by now you all would have known that Mobilink have started their GPRS for Indigo only, Jazz to wait some more.
I being an Indigo customer got mine activated today. Internet browsing definitely slower than Telenor and about the same speed as Ufone. With Telenor I get peaks as high as 45kbs with average data rate of around 32kbs. With Mobilink and Ufone peaks are usually around 25kbs and averaging near to 15kbs. Now that is sluggish. However I grant Mobilink as this was there 1st day and with some optimisation they will hopefully improve. Now that is just a wish.
The good thing though that charges are fixed at Rs. 500, i.e. not linked with the amount of data transferred as is in the case of Telenor and Ufone. MMS on the other hand is free. However I suspect as mentioned on their website this is only an introductory offer and they might change their rates later.
Regards
Raza Zaidi |
