Here is our first post. after  searching through numerous portals and websites even of the the telecom operators them selves i realized that its currently extremely difficult to exactly get the idea of what are the gprs/internet rates across various cell phone operators in Pakistan.

Though PTA has done a commendable job of making all the tariffs for voice available here. but there is still no data i could find for listing down the rates of GPRS and internet being provided by different cell phone or mobile companies.

So following is a consolidation of the data gathered from their own websites in hope that this is useful for people out there. Please note these rates are listed without taxes and are being reported directly from information gathered on the mobile phone company website.

Hit the link for detailed rates.

Ufone

GPRS / Mobile internet rates and packages for UFone are listed here. There is not a lot of flexibility in terms of packages as you can see but for post paid customers the no cap limit on the unlimited package can be a very good attraction. The no subscription rate of Rs 15 per MB is identical to most other service providers packages.

Package Name Subscription Charges (Per Month) Free volume Cost per MB Conn Type
1 N/A N/A Rs 15.00 PrePaid

The subscription package of telenor have very low bandwidth allowance. only 0.15 for the 500 package where Ufone Mobilink offers unlimited at the same price and Warid allows 2 GB in the same price. To compensate for this low bandwidth they have another package but it has the highest monthly subscription fees of Rs 1000.

GPRS / Mobile internet rates and packages for ZONG are listed here.  Zong has the chepest rates for GPRS usage with a non subscription mode only costing about 10 Rs and the unlimited one a lowly of Rs 400 per month.

Package Name Subscription Charges (Per Month) Free Volume Cost Per MB Voice Package Type
1 ZONG Unlimited Rs 400 Unlimited N/A Any
2 Zong Free N/A N/A Rs 10.00 Any

Conclusion….

Rate wise Zong appears to be the most cheap one. But we need to keep in mind that coverage also matters for people making this decision as because of low rate and high speed of broadband now mobility is a very major factor for customers wanting to go on full throttle on GPRS. Similarly quality of service and speed needs to be taken in account.

We will be following this post with speed comparison of gprs on different operators stay tuned ….
