Mobilink and UFone both have started offering Tracking services. Detailed review of both should follow in few days for now we can compare what major features these advertise.

The following table gives an over view of what both of these operators are offering in case of tracking services.

Analysis

At the moment Ufone has an edge on trial period plus the ability to offer service for devices which has GRPS (Which covers most of all devices available in market) Mobilink has a short coming of tying this to GPS based devices only which limits the usability.

Regarding pricing Ufone has click based model while mobilink might be offering (they does not have it clearly mentioned though) subscription based packages.

Ufone is a bit pricey but we can’t compare yet because of mobilink’s non clear pricing at the moment. for ufone searching a site then clicking on it and zooming in would cost you 3 rs (1 per action) and if you wish to get a route you will pay another 2 Rs, for someone who wants to use this occasionally this might make sense, for some one lost a lot more frequently (like me ) this will cost a fortune.

Plus the fact that Google Latitude is available free for for any GPRS based device and it has not maps for Pakistan it remains to be seen how many will use these services, but the fact remains that google at the moment does not offer directions which might be a winning point for these solutions.

Keep tuned in for a review of the services.
