Warid Telecom launches
Warid claims to have launched its service. There are articles in the press, parties in Islamabad and invitations to President House. However there is no tarrif announcement, I don't see any dealers in Karachi.
So there is no price, no place, no product, just promotion.

Vapourware.

Comments:
Everyone has been left in suspense by the Warid Telecom, Pakistan. The service will be offered in 28 cities but with no tarrif plan etc, without any information how can one decide about a new connection company without comparing its facilities and rates.
 
Looks like Warid will be REALLY launching on the 24th of May, hopefully we will then have a real product and a real service instead of all these rumours.
 
I just dont know what are they doing. There is no tariff at all how can they launch witout it. I have bought a sim and according to them tariff is as under:
Sms warid to warid: 50 paisas but they cut 63 paisas.
sms to other network: 1:00 rs
Outgoing call warid to warid: 2:00
outgoing call warid to other: 3:00

Faults:
There are no coustomer service help. there is no gprs or mms its not working at all. They are saying less but cutting more money from the balance. sim is rs 300 and 150 balance in it.

Final Result: Its all bakwas just like mobilink or may be worse than that.

OO i was going to buy a warid sim but looking to the response of its customer i wont buy it at all now..Thanks for all your comments :-)
 
I went to a shop to buy mobilink card, the shopkeeper advised me to buy warid, as they are offering 500 balance , and hence the sim is almost free, and there is no tax deduction ( really surprising) i bought one, checked the balance and it was eaxctly 500:) , i did a sms to check how much they deduct, can you belive they are deducting almost 5.+ rupees on a single message , hell what they ppl are upto.... no traiff rate, no website, no services, just another looter come to pakistan to loot the innocenrt ppl, long live pakistan( you are really heaven for cheaters and all do numberias)
 
Assalam-u-Alaikum!

Infoservices are very costly of WARID and GPRS charges are deducted Rs 50/= P.M viz unjustified and moreover if you are using GPRS or not you have to pay 50/= P.M viz also unjustified.Infoservices deduction is Rs 3.80/= per sms viz also unjustified.WARID telecom should consider about it, otherwise no one will use these facility.

I also agree with all other people. I have purchased a SIM today and look now i am constantly dialing 123 and no respond not even accepting MONEY :P:D. Well There is no helpful material available on their official website, rather its not attractive at alllll, plus they dont have any WEB 2 SMS service, well i searched alot but found none, not even on their official site. O God save us from looters and plunderers...God forbid i dont know where have we stuck, none to rely upon. Yaar! at least there should be some web 2 SMS facility, any good website where we can have any informatin with it. Just look at the running TICKER on the bottom of the official website...My Goodness...i think i have wasted my 300 rupees on it, :-s

i dont know which IT are we talking about, there is not an updated course taught to the students in Pakistan, still the same books from 80z era are given in the student's hands(the govt faculties, don know abt private) i dont for what they give so much funds to the universities. Look at the internet services, no check on bps and terrif. Simple plundering everywhere. This internet is spreading like AIDs in our society, an attempt to make students habitual to leisure. What do you think is everybody using it for educational purposes? They use it for entertainment, and which entertainment am i talking about, i think you allllll know well. Department of Computer Science, Peshawar University where students sit beneath the leaked roof, when it comes to raining...Is this what we call promoting IT and its experts? All is misserable. let the chance to become an IT minister be given to me and then see how the whole scenerio changes and what IT promotion really is called...baat karte hain!!!huh
