Ufone Disables SMS Delivery Confirmation on Valentines Day
I received a message from Ufone which was sent to inform that the SMS delivery notifications will remain disabled from 13th Feb 9 PM to 14th Feb 2 Am to cope up with the overload expected on Valentines day.
Ufone Message:
As a regular practice , SMS delivery confirmation will beĀ unavailable from 13th Feb 9 PM to 14th Feb 2 AM to serve high SMS traffic on Valentines Day
Well… Just think how many of us send messages to each other to wish days we are proud of- like 14th August, 24 Oct, 25 Dec etc., but just imagine the hike in SMS traffic on Valentines day.
Ufone Offers 3 Minute Package
Ufone has just launched a new package “3 Minute Package”. Users can pay a lump-sum amount of Rs. 2/3 Minutes for OnNet Calls (Ufone to Ufone) and Rs. 3.20/3 Minutes for calls to other mobile operators and landlines. Ufone Customers can call 3 minutes for the price of just two minutes, that means 3rd minute is free. If the average price per minute is calculated, the amount comes is 66 paisas per minute.
IMO: The offer is in response to Mobilink 68 Paisas offer and this continues the price war between Telecommunication Companies. I thought, now they will pay more attention to the value added and customer serivces, but they say, once a price war starts, it doesn’t stop easily. Lets see what other Mobile Operators do, whether they reduce the price or improve other services.
More details regarding the package can be found here: http://www.ufone.com/prepay_3MinutePackage.aspx
