Salam Umerhayat i dont think that warid will give flat rates for gprs. if they do so i will change my service provides from UFONE to warid. Telenor is coming to Abbottabad before 20th july 2005 (as per my knowledge) and they will install more than 300 boasters from HassanAbdal to Abbottabad (dont know thats true or ....) God bless you all. |

@SE7. Last night. I try warid. When i insert the sim and turn on my phone then the signal was there, as it happens on other networks, means i did not had to dial the 321 again and again and try to some manual search or some thing. So seems that now warid has solved the signal problem. At least on 6600 it was ok last time. But i will not use their sim until they cut off the 50 rupees for gprs per month and also reduce the data packet size rate or give some flat package of gprs rate. Lol lol. May be give free gprs. Lol . Regards. Umer

@umerhayat, thats a good news for all of us that at last warid is able to fix this big problem that they were having. Umer, what do u think is better of the two, i.e. telenor and warid?? coz i am in a fix now, i am using post-paid package of telenor but its rates are more than what warid is charging. I also would like to add here that i dont travel much, therefore, coverage is not a problem for me, i just need signals in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, so less coverage of telenor is not a problem for me.
Please advise me what to do now?should i stick with telenor and wait for reduction in rates or should i switch over to warid now and enjoy their low tariff. There is another option, i also have Ufone's pre-paid sim!!!
Any recommendations from others would also be appreciated.

@sibtainali: Yes Telenor is coming to Abottabad. It is expanding its network to many new cities. I saw it in a newspaper ad.
Dont know about the number of boosters though.

Salam @SE7 if you are a heavy user of gprs then you should stick with Telenor, or if you only use phone, sms and mms then Warid is good for you. Thanks radarblip609 for informing me about Telenors add in news paper. God bless you all.

W.Salam @sibtainali: yes i am an actually heavy user of GPRS! yesterday i took office my K700i with mobilink sim and i tell u what, when i received calls they could not hear me properly, the line was disconnected once and quality was pathetic. May be the reason that i got annoyed with MAY-BE-LINK is that i am using telenor since March, therefore, i think i have got used to the crystal clear voice  , lolz, anyway, thanx for the response! |

@SE7. Call rates of TELENOR are highest this time among three and gprs rates also same as ufone. On the other hand Warid voice is also very clear. But gprs rates high. Call rates are best this time but call rates real advantage can only be taken if your contacts are also using warid. Ufone voice quality on third place among the three. Gprs rates ok and if your contacts are on ptcl and ufone then its ok for you. I mean you have not to call much people or any people on other mobile net works especially on the mobilink as it has very huge number of users then you can use ufone. So its all very complex situation. No company launching some thing that perfectly suit us. All have one good thing and other bad thing. @sibtainali. Man as mobilink giving the fix gprs package although to post paid users only so i thought may be others also launch some thing like it. At end i will like to say one think about PAKTel its voice sucks. It has no gprs. So it completely sucks. Regards. Umer

A guy who work in mobile market was telling me that sonyericsson not getting popularity in the pakistan because it do not work good with the mobilink. When we use sony ericsson sets with mobilink then there is lot of call drop and low signal and other such kind of problem. But thats what he says i am not sure about it. Hope others also share their observation especially people using sonyericsson with the mobilink. Regards . Umer

I pray Sony Ericsson doesnt get popularity in Pakistan.This will result in a price drop of SE sets and it will be the best thing happening to me being a SE lover.

The reason that mobilink has problem is coz mobilink's own signals r very weak.however i m using different sets of SE for more than 2years without any prob with more than one year i used on jazz!

U must be kidding!!! do u know that when signals are good, the voice is crystal clear as well, which is not the case with Mobilink. By the way i am using its connection since 1998. U cant tell which is the best until and less u have given everybody a fair chance to prove!! |
