Paktel GSM has taken a ground breaking initiative by introducing one rate for all calls across the country. This drastic reduction in tariff has been done to do away with the concept of distance-based charging. The new rates shall be applicable from 7 am till midnight on all prepaid and post paid Paktel GSM packages.
"This step has been taken on the basis of our philosophy where we believe that we can bring more hearts closer every minute, every day," Akbar Khan National Marketing Manager said, "the new Paktel GSM tariff structure has been designed to bring an end to nation-wide charging practices.
Although some other cellular companies have also brought their rates down to equal local call charges, their rates are only applicable within their networks whereas Paktel GSM has slashed all rates for all calls within and outside its network.
This basically means that all calls made from Paktel GSM to PTCL all other mobile phone networks as well as calls within Paktel GSM network would be treated as local.
"Paktel GSM customers can enjoy call rates of Rs 5.75 or less for all nation-wide calls made to other mobile phone networks as well as PTCL throughout the day and evening. This is less than half of what is currently charged on other mobile phone networks," he added.
Apart from this grand reduction, the first 100 SMS on all prepaid packages are free and value-added options like call waiting, voice mail and conference calling are also included.
"Paktel GSM customers shall be charged only Rs 3.75 when calling within network to other Paktel GSM or Tango numbers anywhere In Pakistan," Akbar continued, "this is apart from our special late night rates of Rs 0.99 that have remained unchanged. Now with the new tariffs we have proved that Paktel GSM is air about one nation, one rate because dil tou aik hai!".-PR
