Is there any way to unsubscribe from Telenors shitty offers that still come on this number?

Been over a week since I ported out and I still get messages from Telenor.

Go to Warid office (helpline is useless) and ask them why MNP request was rejected.

[MENTION=63376]shaheerk[/MENTION] when you said Zong was bad in Bahria, I didn't think it was this bad.

Kya faida 15 MHz ka?

Oh, it's bad. It's bad in Saddar (Mall Road, starting from AFIC till a bit before Kacheri), and bad in F-7 (Jinnah Super - on the Faysal Bank/Kim Mun side).

And this is most likely due to poor SNR. Even if they had 100Mhz, the distortions in the signal are high enough to not allow a decent service (I'm sure it's an SNR issue, not a bandwidth issue... I hope so!)

Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Mobilink and port out of Telenor. Let's hope Telenor won't reject it (tomorrow would be the 60th day, and Telenor would accept the request on the 61st day, so let's see).

Pakistan to Auction 4G Spectrum in May for $300 Million


Since Telenor bought 4G license recently on a huge $395 million price, and considering their cost cutting approaches nationally and internationally, chances of their bid are minimum because they require huge investment to expand its 4G coverage in Pakistan which is on initial stage right now.

Jazz, Ufone and Zong could be potential buyers. Jazz is currently integrating its spectrum and refarming as per needs. By adding Warid's spectrum Jazz now has options to provide 10 MHz 4G on 1800 MHz, 10 MHz 3G on 2100 MHz and 5 MHz of 900 MHz extra for either 3G or 4G. Jazz also requires huge money to expand 4G coverage in future because Warid's 4G is in very few cities. But still due to heavy pockets Jazz could go for it just to compete Zong in data services in future.

Ufone will fight for its survival. This is last chance of Ufone and they must get it at any cost. But question is Do they have as much money? Because their revenue is declining and their users are moving to other networks. And they still have a long long journey in 3G coverage. There are many key places in the country where Ufone has GPRS services only.

Zong is already providing 15 MHz 4G by refarming its previously 2G 5 MHz spectrum in 1800 MHz across various places in country to avoid congestion. The way they are selling MBB devices, they need more spectrum now. Secondly they have already expanded 4G coverage in most parts of the country and doesn't require extra investment now for expansion after bagging spectrum. Since this is last block in 1800 MHz which considered to be best frequency for 4G world wide and is contiguous to its existing spectrum. Since they have pockets full of money, have best data revenue among all, they will probably must go for it to stump themselves a true data company and most importantly to avoid another competition in 4G market from Ufone.

Let me know which one deserve to be a winner.

Mobilink / Jazz towers switched off in Bahria. The tower in Phase 1 (Cell ID: 376) and Phase 2 (Cell ID: 390), aren't visible anymore.

All 4G devices are connecting to Cell ID: 363 for 4G, so I'm getting only 1-2 bars of 4G now.

Jazz should go for it so they can keep up with Zong.

Zong should go for it and improve their pathetic, yet usable 4G in Bahria lol.
On a more serious note, if Zong does actually win this, then all other networks are screwed.

No hope for Ufone. I hope they don't win it. They don't deserve it. Let them keep making silly ads and hoping their ridiculous 3G will get them somewhere.

I came back from an Easyload retailer just now, and there was a guy there asking for a Ufone supercard, and I asked why he still uses Ufone, his answer was not surprising at all, their supercard is very good for calling and SMS.

That is the only reason people still use Ufone because of their dumb supercard, I've never seen anyone using them because of their internet.

First time facing 4G outages here in Bahria, Mobilink keeps cutting out and I have to toggle mobile data to get it to work again, and it barely works.

Had to use Zong to load this thread because Tapatalk and a few other apps refuse to work on Mobilink.

Hopefully this means something, but I doubt it.

Regardless of Zong's pathetic LTE speedtests, they still manage to load everything without a hitch.

My whole family is using Ufone for God Damn Supercard. And at end of the month they always have full Data volume, Many U2U minutes and zero other network minutes.

There is something seriously wrong with Zong speed tests. My Zong 3G (using 3G now a days at home due to 4G call issue) never cross 5 to 6 Mbps now a days, but while downloading and torrenting it always give me 1 to 1.7 MB/s download speed.

So... I couldn't port into Mobilink today, because after I sent my MNP response to 76300, I didn't get any response.

Mobilink escalated the issue. Not sure how much longer it'll take. But this isn't the first time Mobilink seems to have issues.

Gah!!!

Also, it appears Warid customers are getting (frequent) calls for replacing their SIMs - not sure if the customer who I know (that got the call) was a 4G customer or not, because they did have an iPhone...

My uncle who's been a long time Warid customer and already had a 4G SIM from them was told to get a new one from the office.
He got a call about 2 weeks ago though.

So maybe they'll offload all Warid customers (4G or not) to Mobilink.

And who knows - maybe then they'll allow carrier aggregation so that they can get 10Mhz within band 3.

I believe you can attain three-way CA within the same band (I think Vodafone in the UK is doing this) but I'm not sure. I also think we're getting ahead of ourselves in these discussions.

Also, a quick plug about Zong 4G in Bahria Pindi: even if they had 50MHz carrier aggregation and whatnot, it won't fix the slow speeds because they don't have enough towers to provide distortion-free signals in some areas. And I don't think they're interested in fixing them either. Which is weird, cause 3G works fine in the same areas.

So Zong listened to me and finally fixed my call issue on 4G/3G/2G auto mode. Now I am receiving calls on 4G auto mode.


Probably I was the only one who complained about this weired issue and still the fixed it after acknowledging. Their technical team guys talked to me in detail that day which was suprisingly overwhelming. He told me about 4G cell sites in area and take feedback from me. No doubt I am a happy Zong customer.
