Mobilink to Charge Rs. 2/- Per Call to Helpline

Tech Readers — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 15:21:25 +0000

Mobilink will be charging Rs. 2 + tax (Rs. 2.42/- inclusive taxes) per call to Mobilink Help Line from November 15, 2010.

The companies give explanation that these charges are taken to improve the quality of customer services and we can see how much it has effected that… NOT AT ALL.

Expect it to be followed by other Mobile Operators if PTA doesn’t take any notice.

Jazz Na Qabil-e-Yaqeen Offer Taken Back!

Tech Readers — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:28:25 +0000

Mobilink has recently taken back it’s Na Qabil-e-Yaqeen offer which allowed subscribers to call to 3 FnF numbers free for 24 hours at Rs. 6.99 + tax per day.

It was a limited time offer and taken back after 35 days. Also, it may be because it was causing overload to the Mobilink network. Many Mobilink customers complained that there had been a lot of network issues lately. Professionals and businessmen consider it a good move at Mobilink end and at the same time suggest them that if they can’t provide some offer for long time, they should not simply offer it.

Pakistan is a price-driven market rather than quality. So, where price is involved, this kind of issues will arise from time to tim

Guest Post: Ufone Mufta – A Customer Deceiving Offer!

Tech Readers — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 07:24:07 +0000

The latest Ufone’s Mufta offer grabs one’s attention with the ad but once you begin to get into all the Mufta Ufone is promising to offer, you find out what bundle of lies they are throwing right in your face. The Mufta offer does not allow discount on ALL Ufone numbers as the discount (the free calls between 12am-9am and calls free after 1st minute during 9am-12am) is only valid if called party is also on “Ufone’s UTH PACKAGE”.

Looks Can Be Deceiving...

Ufone Mufta Offer misleads people by saying that it is completely free but as soon as you try to subscribe the offer, it charges Rs. 20 upfront as subscription fee and then on top of it, daily charges of Rs 2 also apply.

Both Ufone and Mobilink are making funny ads to hit at each other’s offer. No wonder both companies’ ads are hilarious and entertaining but close comparison of these two offers show that Ufone Mufta Offer is very weak in front of Jazz Na Qabil e Yaqeen (NYQ) offer. Ufone Mufta offer charges Rs. 20 on subscription with Rs. 2 per day while Jazz NYQ offer charges Rs. 7 per day only.

Also, on Jazz NYQ offer, calls are 100 percent free on any 3 friends and family numbers 24 hours a day but in Ufone Mufta offer, there are predefined time bands like free calls on Uth package numbers only from midnight to 9am and call free after 1st minutes only on Uth package numbers between 9am to midnight.

Judging from that and then looking at Ufone ad where they say “2-3 nahin lakhon numbers per bilkul free calls…” it is highly deceiving because not all laakhon numbers are going to be UTH package numbers on any one user’s number. Also, Uth Mufta offer stands right now as the most expensive 24 hour free calls package by any network. The most economical package is offered by Jazz NYQ offer at Rs. 6.99 per day, then by Telenor 24Hr offer at Rs. 9.99/day.

Model Indian Aur Jazz Apna Hai

Bilal Akram — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 08:52:38 +0000

Recently Mobilink launched a campaign introducing a new tag line ‘Jazz Apna Hai’ for its prepaid brand. Reports say, it was produced and directed by India and even more the actors casted were Indian as well.

The Telecom Companies of Pakistan have once again used an Indian production house for it TV commercial or media campaign but this time Mobilink took a bold step and casted Indian models and actresses.

The trend of casting Indian models for different media campaigns in Pakistan is rising, recently Kareena appeared on hoardings and billboards for Firdous Textile, Deepika Padukone in another ad for a textile firm and even Amitab Bachan appearing on a Quiz Show. Where would this end?

Signing an Indian model is totally legal as far as the business point of view is concerned. On the other hand, question arises if this practice by Pakistani companies is going to hurt the local industry or not? The straight forward answer is YES.

An advertising expert, who asked for anonymity said;

No doubt there is a lot of talent I Pakistan, and we don’t even lack behind in technical facilities. Pakistan has one of the best producers who have produced top quality music videos I must say better than Indians then why can’t we produce TVCs?

He said;

This new trend is going to hurt local industry at large, above all in this scenario where Pakistani industry is already suffering. For example, recently Warid signed film actress Saima for one of its campaign. And she did better than of this Indian lady.

When he was asked about advantages of this trend, he replied the only thing that differentiates both industries is the professionalism. A TVC is shot in minimum deadline in India, where processes are so smooth and sequel that it hardly takes 2/3 days for completion of a TVC.

He advised Pakistani companies should sign local talent and promote it, with good purpose.
