Mobilink  @Comtrak: Howz there service? I think it must be bad. Thankfully here in India we have lotsa competition. Orange and Mobilink as MNCs (Mobilink isnt in cell, just had (or have?) Paging Services) and Reliance etc are the Local blokes.
 Actually I have this audio file (seems authentic) with a Mobilink cust giving real bad abuses to poor CC guy PM me if anyone wanna check it out.
Here in Bombay, Reliance grew big, 2nd only to Bharti Tele's Airtel.
How many Ops r there in Pakistan ?

Yaar, aap log lucky ho. I have used GPRS with Orange (Bombay)for over 2 years @99 pm, but they will now charge INR 49/- plus 10 paise-10 kb. Bad, for doz like me who check Y! Mail every hour LoL ! & dont tell me they confuse you with piecemeal tax. We hav like a flat 2Rs/min for outgoing. for billing (postpaid) the Serv Tax etc added as %ge of bill.
Most big Ops here are ready to launch 3G! Yaaayi  Its the damn Govt. Lobbies who are slowing the process.
Bahut neend aa rahi hai (its 4am).. Gunite ZzZ

@sailab: The mobilink we have is a subsidiary of Orascom international. The one you have is the same?
As far as its service is concerened, its not the best as compared to other providers. Rather quite bad. Though its got the widest coverage in the country.

hi,
i have already posted this on the telenor forum, didnt know there was a warid forum as well 
i have two warid pre-paid conneciton. Both begin with 521.
When i message between these two numbers (sms, single) i am charged 6.33 rupees!!!!
Messaging to other warid numbers or other networks is no problem!
only one of the numbers is in my name, the other being in my wife's name.
I have talked to warid customer support and they are dumb-founded, i physically demonstrated this to them. They registered a complaint about 2 weeks ago, but nothing has happened as of yet. anyone has any ideas why this is happening???
ps. could anyone with a warid number with 5211... please send themselves a message and see how much money is charged.
thanks |

@bilal:
This means that the battery comes to its full potential only after you have charged it completely and used till ur phone turns itself off because of low battery. This process from charging till complete discharge is called a CYCLE. So, when u complete 5-6 such cycles, ur battery gives u the best standby as well as talk time.
i hope this must have cleared any ambiguities that u might have in ur mind.

@Bilal> Teen Char bar batt. ko tab charge kijiye jab woh 'puri tarah' dead / discharge ho jaye. It gives internal cells better capacity to retain charge than b4.
@Radar> Nahi Nahi. I said Mobilink here was in Paging only. The file (customer giving Punjabi Hindi gaaliyaan / abuses) is of Pakistan Call Center. Man its funny. Hamare yahain (India) Reliance ka wahi hal hai. >
BtW> Bombay:15 hours non stop rains now. Even mobiles not working. contact friends/ relatives here to check if they are all okay

@SE7 Yaar is it true that "slow chargers such as ACP-7 prolongs battery life because they do not cause a rise in temperature within battery during charge whereas it takes long time to charge with them and the quick chargers such as ACP-12 reduces battery life because they cause a rise in temperature in battery while charging although they charge in shorter time."
Please visit this and tell me is it true.
http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/453603-1.html
Also please tell me please whats the difference between ACP-7 and ACP-7E type written on chargers. NOKIA 2300 is compatible with ACP-7 and ACP-12 but Which I got in pinpacked is ACP-7E.
And one thing more I got an ACP-7E heavy weighted charger in pin packed NOKIA 2300 and My friend got ACP-12 slim light weighted charger in pin packed NOKIA 2300. Why is this difference although they are both under the warranty of UNITED MOBILES but one bought from SADDAR and I bought from ISLAMABAD.
Very much thanks SE7 for ur nice explanation. I will put such questions in the future if anything not cleared to me. I bought a new mobile two days before, 2300 for longer battery life although I have others for GPRS. Also thanks for sailaab for giving me a suggesion.

I read in today's newspaper that Chairmen PTA S.Alam has announced 68 paisa decrease in call charges from fixed phone to mobile. It is currently 2.80 and from tommorow onwards it will be
Rs 2.12 And next year it will be further decreased to 1.50
Mobile phone companies transmission rates are reduced to Rs 1.60 that were Rs 2 before, among which PTCL charges were 80 paisa but now its reduced to 53 paisa. According to him transmission charges will further be reduced to Rs 1.25 next year. According to him the mobile phone billing system would also be converted to per second billing from per minute billing.
Can anyone tell me that what are the transmission rates of mobile companies and would be there any effect of it on the terrifs.
Secondly, I think mobile charges from fixed line PTCL is Rs 4/min then how its reduced from 2.80 to 2.66
Waiting for someone answer.....Bilal.

Hi, I am planning to sign up for waarid connection when I come from overseas. How is their reach and image -- any user experiences would be good. How are the rates & service. I notice there are quite a few players, but its appeal is the website! |

@abtahir
WARID rates are good and TELENOR has high rates as compared to it but still I will recommend that you buy a TELENOR connection, it is better than WARID. I used warid for some days but I m back on TELENOR now. |

Hi brothers. Also have a look on the coverage area. Telenor was launched in the 3 cities still i think covers some 10 12 cities. But warid was launched in the 28 cities. So warid has far more coverage this time than the telenor. Telenor customar support is good. But warid customar support really sucks. First of all you have to be lucky that day to get connected to help line. Then For an example ,I had to call three times to get my gprs activated. Because first two times their dealing person said 63 rupees will be cut and it will start working but it never did , then i call again after one hour and person says it will work after 15 minute but it did not , so i call third time and kick the dealing person's . . . . that what the . . . . is wrong with you people , activate this shitty thing which is pre activated in telenor and you charge 63 rupee per month for it. This time he listens and activate it in 5 minutes. Lol. So thats the way and language that works here. Regards. Umer
