GPRS Settings For Android Handsets:Ufone- Zong- Telenor- Warid- Mobilink

Android handsets are starting to see the light of day in Pakistan but sadly the cellular networks over here or more precisely the customer care people aren’t aware of their GPRS/EDGE settings, while Androids don’t accept automated settings messages.
But thanks to Haris Nadeem from AndroidPakistan.com we now have GPRS/EDGE settings for every mobile network here in Pakistan, yes you heard that right, GPRS setting for Andriod phones for every mobile network!
The first time I took my Nexus One to head office of a cellular company in Islamabad for GPRS settings, the representative over there took my handset, looked at it for like 5 minutes and then blurted out “Is this an iPhone?”, from that moment I realized that Android users are on their own when it comes to internet/GPRS settings.
Follow these simple steps and you’ll have Internet/EDGE up and running on your Android handset in no time!

Mobilink Scoops GSMA Global Mobile Award 2013

Mobilink has made Pakistan proud by winning GSMA Global Mobile Award at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona.
Mobilink’s SMS Based Literacy program won in the category of “Best Mobile Education or Learning Product or Service”, beating four other services – contesting in the same category.
Rashid Khan, CEO of Mobilink, collected the award at an Award Distribution ceremony that was held yesterday in Barcelona.
Judges, while awarding Mobilink, commented that Mobilink’s SMS Based Literacy Program is an excellent and needed mobile initiative with an explicit educational ideology that opens up new learning opportunities for a disadvantaged, rural group.
Mobilink’s SMS Based Literacy Program was a joint venture of Mobilink Foundation as the technical facilitator / United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as the implementation agency / Two Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), namely Dhaka Ahsania Mission Pakistan and Bunyad as project executors.
As the technical facilitator, Mobilink Foundation provided activated SIM cards / numbers for each teacher and learner to communicate. Till date, the SMS Based Literacy program has reached out to 4,000 learners who have been provided basic literacy skills by communicating with teachers through SMS based interactive lessons.
Telenor Pakistan and UBL Omni were also contesting for the Global Mobile Awards this year. Previously Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) under the chairmanship of Shahzada Alam had won the Best Government Leadership Award; then UBL Omni won 1st rank slot last year for Transparent and Efficient Cash Disbursement Service after the 2009 IDPs Crisis and the 2010 Flood Crisis.
It merits mentioning here that this was first ever nomination by Mobilink in the Global Mobile Awards. Mobilink has dedicated this award to the women of the country.
