Due to 150th celebration of telenor now if we load a 500 rupee card then we will get 250 rupees extra balance.This balance will be received in 24 hours after loading the card.So its cool offer.

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 all.Telenor launched its services in 10 more cities and now its coverage is in 32 cities.Mobilink also now advertising about the gprs on jazz but only in 5 cities.Browsing 18 tax and MMS 6rp tax,no doubt most expensive than all like ever.What about the old offer of 500rp tax for unlimited gprs use on indigo packages.Is it still there or is it ended

I am an Indigo user and Mobilink has made clear that for Indigo users the original packiage of a fixed charge of Rs 500 per month will continue. This will include unlimited data and MMS |

First of all my apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately I really don't think I am the best person to answer your query. This is so because my postpaid (Indigo) connection is very old (over 4 years) and recently I just got my GPRS activated. However you can get some idea by looking at their website. Maybe somebody who has recently acquired a fresh Indigo connection can throw light on this matter better.
Regarding gprs fixed charges what I can say is that although they say it is Rs 500 per month but in reality you actually end up paying Rs 633 per month. This is so because the base Rs 500 is subject to a 15% "Sales Tax" and a 10% as "Advance Tax". So the calculation goes like this:
Base Price = Rs 500
Sales Tax = 15% = 500 x 0.15 = 75
Subtotal = 500 + 75 = 575
Advance Tax = 10% of 575 = 575 x 0.10 = 57.5
Therefore total = 500 + 75 + 57.5 = 632.5 or 633

HI guys,
Mobilink is not much bad now a days as you all guys say, I am using it it has the best signals and no connectivity problems. It is also making its networks good and as far as validities Rs 600 for one year and 300, 100 for 6 months. |

Yes Bilal I totally agree with you. Mobilink has made some real improvement and even in my area in Lahore they have goog signals and connection is most of the time for the 1st attempt.
I also appreciate the Rs 10/- per SMS @ 180 donation to help our brothers and sisters who have fallen victims of the recent unfortunate quake.
One thing I must though say that recently it took Mobilink over a month to get GPRS connectivity corrected in the area in Lahore where I live. Whereas GPRS was working well in all parts of Lahore except in the area where I live. I think taking over a month to get it going again does not reflect very nicely on them.
Regards

AoA radarblip, i m living in Cantt. area. i m a student of BCS (HONS) final semester. it very pleasent to welcome u. in my openion, telenor is much better than warid. the most excellent feature is easyload. warid announced the 64 k sim, but it is for postpaid customers, available for prepaid customers too, but they will have to subscribe it. it is very confused process. |
