For Edge Yasir, Warid bought EDGE enable equipment and were planning to launch it before telenor launch it but after that they were thinking that it is of no use to launch it as now they can move to 3G. As market is building up for 3G and the next technology in Pakistan Mobile phone will be it so they were than thinking to move directly to 3G although telenor and mobilink are both ahead in this regard as their Vendor is Motorola and a chinese company (i forget the name) who are sole vendors of 3G but Warid has contacted them and through Wateen he is now trying to capture this market. Also it is also rummored that Warid owners are now thinking of moving out of Pakistan so there interest over here is less and they are not as much enthusiatic about it as they were before

@ Salman: thanks for the insight but why so early soft launch. Warid deployed the Edge equipment on its cell sites and kept on testing it for so long (Ericsson guyz were testing it) and its still not available to there Customers. then why an early soft launch in this case? They are advertising it on there website and its not that hard to find information (through there website) unlike the required stuff e.g. multimedia/GPRS settings

@ Cybean: well there were quite a few things to notice.
1- As per there Advertisements its instant where as its not. I did get a notification but when i called there help line it kept on playing the outgoing blocked message tape in the start.

2- The poor way of doing it . they should have done it through commands instead of sms. Or if not they should have advertised the 321 help line method as first priority.

3- The argument o6 60% bill is totally false as outgoing gets blocked on 90%

4- Last but no the least if i call there help line ad tell them to open my outgoing and i’ll pay tomorrow even thats more instant than this method.

I hope things are a bit more clear now?

I didn’t got your point yaser, if it works and 1k was payed to your account then it means this service works. Now your outgoing was not opened as you havn’t payed your bill in full (why ) and you are claiming that warid suck for this … :’D

Well Aaron forgot to paste his website for which he was doing SEO
Anyways well yea I had to go through the same problem. Firstly I dint know about it and as always when my outgoing got blocked on Sunday I called 321 and asked them to open it till Monday morning. I was expecting the same reply that sir do you have Alfalah credit card(always have to hear this!) and the reply always is NO! But this time he had something else to say and that was the prepaid scratch card. Abdullah tariq told me about this few months that he has suggested this idea and hopefully it will be implemented soon. I was surprised but it was some relief to me since I always had to request them on sundays to temporarily open my connection
Anyways later on Abdullah told me that right now its a soft launch and they are not publicizing it so that proper testing can be done…
