PTCL’s latest offers page details some new local call charges plan. Calls in the evening - apparently targeted towards female dominated domestic population - will now cost twice but will last a full hour. This is a tit-for-tat reaction to the Mobilink and Telenor’s Rs 5 an hour and Rs 4 an hour on-net plans.
The UIN charges, as mentioned in point 4 of the announcement, are to remain unchanged at Rs 2 for unlimited time. Unless there is still something cooking, at least for now, the users can relax that the multi-metered Internet calls are not here (yet!).
p.s: The classroom and the student shown in the graphics at the PTCL site bear no resemblance to either Pakistan or UAE. What happened to the principle of local relevance!

That is a relief, i guess competition mobile and GSM market is at least giving some hope to EU who are being ripped off by PTCL. PTCL can do so much more and make so much more money by being more EU focused.
p.s: That is from a TV advert in UK, ‘P’ in PTCL stands for Pirates
