Now, Talk something about terrif. Through calculations I came to know that WARID & TELENOR have exactly the same calculation formula.
TELENOR:
When we load a certain amount of money in TELENOR than exactly 9.1% is deducted as TAX, and remaining 15% is deducted on of the calls and SMS. For example 15% of 3.99 is .60 so total= 4.59,
15% of SMS 1.5 is .23 so, total= 1.73, in this way the total deduction is nearly equal to 27% (9.1% in the beggining and 15% on each call & SMS).Now from these calculations, we have to to Pay exactly Rs 5.06 for each call and 1.90 for each SMS. Similarly you can calculate for international calls 25.40 .These all rates are too high.
WARID:
Now talking about WARID, they are deducting whole 27% with each call and SMS instead of deducting 9.1% in beggniing and 15% GST afterwards. For example 27% of 3 is .80 so total = 3.80, and SMS 27% of 1 is .27 so 1.27 . So, you should not confuse about the terrif of WARID thats more clear, You can easily calculate all On net, Off net exact call rates of WARID by adding 27% of that Amount after each call. So the lowest call rate from Warid to Warid is 1.27 in friends and family off peak and if you talk fro half minute than 0.64 and on net SMS thats 0.64 .So, WARID rates are low than TELENOR.
From Above all discussion we come to know that the amount of TAX depends on the call rates which is set by the company.
There is a difference of 1.26 in Off net call rates of Telenor and WARID. Please don't think that I have some special relationship with WARID. Currently I myself is using TELENOR.

Yes, Mobilink dual code system is somewhat confusing, what they want to prove by this system? I think to the people who don't know more about Mobile networks they want to show that OUR network is strong enough to support dual codes and we have many users and all pakistanis are fan of Mobilink.
The real story is that they have more coverage and many people living even in islamabad have mobilink because only they have only mobilink in thier home town. I have also the same problem but I have now rejected mobilink.
@comtrack
Mobilink has very poor sound quality whats thier use of 1800 Mhz.
Telenor and Warid has obviously 1800 Mhz because I have read that this dual band results in better sound quality and fast data transfer over GPRS networks.In that site
http://www.gsmworld.com/ Mobilink 900 and 1800 are defined saperately.
I want you all to visit the site
http://www.gsmworld.com/ thats very informative for GSM networks Moreover it also provides the complete information of each GSM network across the world. From thier I came to know that India has 60 GSM mobile networks thats why competition is very tough, we have only 5 operators, They all running thier own monoply what will we benefit from them? I have also read that Telenor is also intrested in india than their they will be able to run when they provide Rs. 1/min . We are being looted by all operators.

Hi. Have already discussesed about the network search problem with warid. Now when network is detected and signal is ok. Then if we go to some place where signal is lost. Say some close place like operation theatre or some basement and then come out again. Then warid do not pick the signal again. When you take the set in your hand again for making some call or using gprs or for what ever then you come to know that you have no signal. Then you have to dial the 321 again some times more than one times to pick the signal again. I am sick of this thing.

Yes, I have noted the same problem that Mobile picks the signals late. One Good thing is that its voice is clear although we have one dot in signal but TELENOR voice cut off even in half of signals.
One other bad thing about WARID is the INCOMPATIBILITY issue.
The TEXT MESSAGE send from WARID server through WEB2SMS is unreadable on NOKIA mobiles of upto 2003 but readable on NOKIA models of 2004 and afterwards. I have checked it on four mobiles. NOKIA 7210,2100,2300,2600. 7210 and 2100 are of 2003,
2300 and 2600 are of 2004 and 2005 respectively.
Now cosider I got a message from WARID WEB2SMS and store this message on the SIM, when I inserted the SIM in 7210,2100 and opened that message, written inside is "the message cannot be displayed" on the other hand when I entered the same SIM in 2300,2600 the message could be read clearly as it was send from WEB2SMS, why is this INCOMPATIBILITY exists? All others PHONES are compatible on all networks than why this Incompatible?
Someone please check himself and comment? If want to check then I will send the message to you through WEB2SMS.
The same problem also persists with the password send from WARID server at the first time of registration.
I will plan to go to its main office with the complaint.

Due to warid in city SAHIWAL the Jazz and Paktel GSM sims were being sold for free in front of Warid main frenchise.To buy Paktel GSM u had to give 200 RS just for credit (on activation u have 200 RS) and for jazz 130 RS just for credit (on activation u have 130 RS balance) and the sim was free..
so this the competition.

@bilal. Yahan fsd main mobilink ke har franchise per dhool wale khare hain aur woo loog dhool baja ker 130 ke sim 130 rupees ke balance ke sath sale ker rahe hain. About incompatibility i can not tell any thing as no one send me sms from web to sms. But on my 6600 the activation code they send was opened may be my firm ware some different as the 6600 is also a 2003 release set. Hope some one tell about it soon. Regards. Umer
