Warid recently flashed all channels with its 60 Paisa package, flooring the current contender for lowest rate Zong’s 65 Paisa Package by a big margin of 5 paisa

Lets see if this is the real case or just adjusting/hiding facts to make a package attractive as has become the habit of all telecomes, you really have to read the fine print to get the details.

Again source for all this is from their web site just mentioning the basic facts in a larger and readable format.

Here are the catches for this 60 Paisa Package to all networks

1. The package is for limited duration of the day and IS NOT a whole day package, these rates are applicable only from 9am to 5 pm during the day, you call after 5pm rates for calls after this time is as follows from their site.

Warid to Warid calls after 5p.m. till 9a.m. will be charged at Rs 1.5+tax per minute, whereas all other mobile networks and PTCL would be charged at Rs.1.7+tax per minute. Local (all networks) SMS would be charged at Rs.1+tax and international SMS is charged at Rs.5+tax per SMS

2. The billing pulse IS NOT 30 seconds as advertised so you make a call for 25 seconds you will be charged for a full minute, yup that’s right, it will cost you 1.20 Paisa (And that too during the day time of 9am to 5 pm).

So is it really a cheap package or just playing around with the facts to make a big splash, and as always remember when ever you do your calculations all these figures mentioned are before tax.

Will compare the lowest packages soon, keep tuned in.
