So noone has reviewed the voice quality of warid. As the Telenor users say it to be absolutely crystal clear, what about warid?

Hi again. Is some one using the mobilink gprs or not. If some one using it then please soon tell us about its connectivity ,quality and every thing. Also about the agile and the opera browser use and can we configure it with pc. I am using warid gprs for two three days and i think they are over charging for data also. If some one else also using it then please correct me if i am wrong. Gprs on warid is turning into a nightmare this time. Regards. Umer

@Radar. Ok man. From now on i post one thing at one place. We need to discuss also the BATTERY CONSUMPTION by the net works. According to me assuming signals are full at your place. TELENOR has the best standby time. Ufone is on second number. Warid on third and the mobilink is on last. I do not know about the paktel. These are the observations by me that i made using 6600. Hope others tell there views soon also. Regards. Umer.

Ok man. I try to explain. But my all observation are only one set 6600 based as i have non other these days. With out using gprs if on ufone battery do 2.5 days then on telenor it will do 3 or 3.5 days. On gprs and as screen is active also. If on ufone my set do 8 hours on tele nor it do 10 to 12 hours. So telenor net work consume less battery. Will tell you about warid in some days. Hope some one else using more than one sim gives his observations also soon. Regards. Umer

Makes a huge difference my friend. Trust me over here in Canada I use FIDO. FIDO does relatively well compared to Rogers. When I visit Pakistan, I have the same handset in use and it consumes more than both Rogers and Fido. In pakistan I have used mobilink only. Cant wait to get my hands on the rest! |

HI GUYS,
WARID call rates are very good. And also one more important thing is that when we load Rs.100 in TELENOR they deduct 10 rupees as TAX but in the case of WARID they don't deduct any TAX the 100 rupees remain 100 and the tax is deducted while making calls and still cheaper than telenor I think its best as for as call rates are concerned.
A call is compared as making an OFF NET CALL per minute:
----------Amount load---Amount deducted-----Peak----Off peak
TELENOR---Rs.100--------nearly Rs.10---------3.99------3.99
WARID-----Rs.100--------zero rupees----------3.00------2.75
------------Tax------Total peak---Off peak-----Overall cost
TELENOR----0.60------4.59--------4.59----------4.59
WARID------0.80------3.80--------3.55----------nearly 3.65
------------------------------------------------off peak 3.35
Telenor off net and on net SMS 1.5+tax =1.73 (after 31 may)
Warid on net .50 & off net 1 +tax (1.27) still cheaper
Now, I have compared a little the prices of TELENOR and WARID. When you load 100 rupees balance in your Mobile and u make a call to any other network then :
Off net Offnet
--------------Amount Loaded-------Talk Time----------SMS------
WARID-----------100-----------------26----------------78-------
TELENOR---------100-----------------19----------------57-------
This shows Telenor is expensive than WARID.
From here u can judge that how much can you save monthly and too much yearly.
Moreover the telenor charges the same within network the same but Warid rates are very low within network upto Rs.1+tax, so call rates wise warid is best it has also coverage in all important cities.
All telenor users, I have found another number 555 may be you know it already. It is also like a help line number with much clearer sound. It allows you to hear your balance as WARID and change your language for all assistanace which is set to URDU by default e.g when ur Balance is below 20 etc etc.
Here in my area warid sound is clearer than that of TELENOR although it has some signals problem but I hope it will be solved.

@BILAL. Thanks brother. You are our best analyst. Hope the telenor drop the call prices for the prepaid soon as now 3.99 seems very expensive when the warid has arrived with low call rates . Also today telenor gprs is working ok for me here in fsd but warid gprs is not working well. At noon i connect it and the bytes were uploaded but not downloaded. So you also can try the telenor gprs if you want i hope your will also be working ok this hour. @SABTAIN. As you told you do not have telenor in your area so you can not try it but i feel that the battery life on telenor network stays longer. Hope some one else also tell his observations also soon about the battery life on different networks. Regards. Umer
