Telenor also offers Unlimited Free Calls to 3 FnF Numbers
After Mobilink’s Na-qabil-yaqeen offer, Telenor also offered its customers a similar facility to make unlimited calls to three friend and family numbers at a fixed daily rental of Rs.9.99 plus tax. Telenor’s this offer comes with its TalkShawk 24 ghantay package, which is a pretty decent package for making calls to all networks at 80 paisas plus tax per 30 seconds. Little higher than counterparts, which are offering 68 paisas or even 65 paisas per 30 seconds for all networks. Telenor’s this move, of following Mobilink, may push other operators to allow un-metered calls on selected numbers at a fixed daily rental. However, cellular companies will have to keep an eye on their network’s strength before offering this kind of incentives. So if you want to make free calls to 3 FnF numbers, switch to Talkshawk … Read entire article »

Just like we write in our previous post for GPRS settings for Android handsets, here’s a complete set of MMS settings for Telenor, Zong, Mobilink and Warid, we couldn’t get hold of Ufone’s MMS settings for now. Sorry we took a little while to get this one up, we had to test out the settings and confirm they were working before we could share them with you. Just like the GPRS settings, MMS settings were possible all because of Haris Nadeem from AndroidPakistan.com, he put in quite a lot of time to make these settings work. And before you bombard us with questions relating to the settings not working on your Android handset, we tested out MMS on a Nexus One running on Android 2.2 Froyo, Samsung Galaxy S running on Android 2.1 Éclair, … Read entire article »
Telenor’s GPRS TVC Showed a guy hunting for a girl on Facebook Dleted
I think that Telenor has decided to pull back its recent most TV commercial of telenor GPRS.More, which came under fire from masses due to its over-expressive nature. I don’t know any official words on this yet; however, Telenor’s official YouTube page has deleted the ad that showed a guy hunting for a girl on Facebook using Telenor’s GPRS. Telenor is airing a backup TVC on TV channels, which shots a better use of Telenor’s GPRS. As we said, we don’t have official words on this matter yet; still, pulling the plug of TVC in question is being termed as positive and sensible response from Telenor’s end. At the same time, now it is evident that said TVC had thematic problems in it. Below is new TVC of Intenret.More … Read entire article »
