Telenor Pakistan and Waridtel Face On!! Free SMS?
Tick tick tick... beeeeeeep.....
Its 12th May, 2005. Warid Tel aka Al-Warid Telecom (www.waridtel.com) is to launch operations in 28 cities of Pakistan with a pre-subscriber base of 1.5 Million subscriber...
Be reminded, this is the same group from UAE that owns Bank Al-Falah and United Bank Limited of Pakistan. Whats next?
Telenor having spent hardly 2 months since its launch just anounced today that it has waived off the SMS and MMS charges for all subscribers. (MMS limited to telenor-to-telenor, SMS limited to networks in Pakistan only).
The news is believed to be a side effect of the rumours that earlier gripped the Waridtel fans, that WaridTel is to offer Free SMS, Free calls warid-to-warid every saturday and sunday and would also distribute free connections amongst Bank-AlFalah credit card holders besides the employees of Al-Falah and UBL.
I tried the free SMS from my Telenor number, it does reach, but the lag keeps gitting bigger... I'm not too sure if Telenor would be able to maintain their quality of service.
Let's wait for the morning and see what the newspapers have to offer for WaridTel...

Dude, as a Telenor user can u SMS to/fro Insta? I can't, and I'm sorry I switched to Telenor. Also, SMS'es to/fro Mobilink are unreliable.
You are right about problems with sending sms to Mobilink.... I havent tried messaging Insta...
They need to improve in a lot of things...
I am waiting for the day when they drop the CPP charges. Paktel and Telenor have already done so and Warid may do the same. But it is Mobilink who is giving the trouble. Boy! how much we have paid extra to them for so many nonsence charges - and the service - the poorest. BTW, anyone knows the tariffs of Warid?

Actually Mobilink now a days becomes a Maybelink, The service of mobilink is very very poor day by day they only exceeded their customer not theier services,But i think Ufone is reliable..and i m also waiting for Alwarid,due to free rates call options
Please dont bring bocus network like others bashak dont free anything take charges of everything but network must be strong

Well i know that all this fuss about the tariff is going on. this tarrif which is being talked about was just a suggestion by an employee at WARID TELECOM to the authoroties in the first week of Feb. And his recommandations were considered, but only partially.
As we all know that in this world of competition, the tarriffs are not the most stable thing. So therefore, these rates are not applicable.
But what i do know about WARID is:
* 64K SIM cards for Postpaid
* 32K SIM cards for Prepaid
* Friends & Family Group (upto 7 members) - Half rates [CALL & SMS]
* Get any Warid number of your choice.
0345-ur previous number
Contact the Franchise office
12th May come and went - any news if they will actually hit the market? some one now has it for monday the 23rd lets wait for this date - seems its more like the Y2K scare ;)
Hi, I can't open up the warid site, www.waridtel.com ,can anybody help, please. 'wildhunk'
WaridTel.com was down for prolonged periods on the day Warid Tel was launched. Its opening now... but its a crappy site..
You can write to other people in management as well:
hamid.farooq@waridtel.com -- CEO
marwan.zawaydeh@waridtel.com -- Director
tariq.malik@waridtel.com -- Member Executive Team
naveed.saeed@waridtel.com -- GM Sales Marketing
peter.morgan@waridtel.com -- Launch Director
tanveer.khan@waridtel.com -- Director Operation
Please feel free to write to these gentlemen and give them piece of your mind...
It is surprising if the warid tel will go for free sms and call on warid to warid at saturday and sunday.
All mobilink customers should switch on to any other service so that mobilink can be brought in good functioning position.
Good by to Mobilink.
