Changes in the 1996 Act
Disturbing news, mainly because there are no details: "The cabinet, in order to sanction the telecom deregulation policy and cellular policy, approved amendments in the Pakistan Telecommunications Reorganisation Act 1996".

" Telenor and Mobilink will crush them"
Are you just kidding or are you rellay that ignorant? If you've been to Pakistan in the last few years you must have used Mobilink or heard about it from someone who's used it... Heard that notorious recording of a call to Mobilink customer service? It represents the sentiments of every user of Mobilink... well, except for those who work for Mobilink...
As far as Warid is concerned, I agree their Management is not good, but their service is much better than Mobilink, Ufone and Paktel GSM (I've used these myself), and I've heard that Telenor is no good either, occasional 'Network busy' messages and no coverage outside Lahore.
Don't say that Warid has very little load at the moment, I have been using Paktel GSM since the first week, but it was never as good as Warid is right now.
And lastly, the call rates of Warid are excellent. Telenor is not cheap, even Paktel (3.75+ 15%) is cheaper than Telenor (4 + 15%), and there's 30 second billing for calls to Warid and to PTCL and International phones.
 
Warid is good but their site is down again. its not loading. also the sms facility from the internet has been provided only to the warid users and not to every one. this is bad for the rest of ppl.
