Zong new offer 2 Numbers one Sim [Comparative Analysis :)]

I was going through different forums today and found out Zong has launched a new service with the

name of Chine-Ease .. my anxietiness forced me to go on their web site and read more about the

service .. to my surprise the title of the page http://zong.com.pk/zong_chine_ease.html says

UNTITLED now such a big company not taking care of this mere stuff.

Not complaining just want you all to send them complain / suggestion to fix this, like I did.

Coming back to the offer they are making Chinese number on your Pakistani number where you can

easily recieve calls on your Pakistani number when some one will dial a China number or vice versa.

The pricing goes like:

Incoming calls to any other the two number will cost you 10 rs per minute
Outgoing calls within China 10
Call to Pakistan 25

Now, why would I go for such offer where I can buy a Chinese number for $5 a month and 7 cents a

minute for calls on my cell phone number in Pakistan from http://www.virtualphoneline.com

Rs 420 per month and around PKR 7 per minute to recieve call on your Pakistani number, not to mention  the sms rates and all other rates will be normal or you can get a Pakistani number for $1 per month on your Chinese number where Rs 84 / month and $0.029 (Rs 3) per minute.

So why would I bother going for China Ease package :)

Thank you Virtualphonelineline.com you made my day!

How many numbers are there on your CNIC?

I recently got an sms  from one of ma mates:

"Send your nic number to 42201xxxxxxxx without dashes to '668' and find out how many sims you have from Ufone, Warid, Mobilink, Telenor, SCO and Zong"

SCO is Special Communication Organization; GM network in Azad Jammu Kashmir and Northern Areas.

Ok; now I came accross a new wbsite which will help you to fulfil the same task by going there. Here is what you have to do:

http://210.2.169.131:8000/app/sis.asp?cnic=42201xxxxxxxx

Simply write the full National Identity Card number after the = sign and you will know; how many sims are registered via your CNIC.

Only for Pakistani Users!

I think this is pretty amazing service, usually when you deal with franchise they use your NIC to issue x amount of sims. This service will help you to get the real picture and will save you from any unforeseen accident. After all it is a risk where police can arrest you; if sim that was issued on your CNIC is being used for FRAUD / Bad purpose.

Thank you PTA.. Indeed a Great Service!

New Budget Seems to be Anti Telecom Budget in Pakistan

Recently Budget has been announced in Pakistan where 20 Paisa tax is imposed on each of the sms being sent by any mobile operator.

Which means the bundle offer by Zong CM pk, Telenor, Ufone and Mobilink will be of no use any more. 20 paisa is tax and then there will be the charges by the operator which can be around 7 to 9 Paisa which means cost for Mobile operator will be 29 Paisa.

Now i believe no more bundle offers will be offered in Pakistan :).

Though, good part is Sales Tax will be lowered to 19% and Sim Activation is slashed to half.

This all seems to be weired where Telecom Compalies spent millions in advertising their Bulk SMS campaigns but now it seems all will be sent to trash.

There should be a body to take action on all this or one day no fdi will see Pakistan as opportunity when it comes to Telecom business
