#10. No cell phones made in Pakistan.

#06. No unlimited calling plans.
#05. Silly advertising which is completely out of touch with ground realities.
#04. PTA: Sleepy customer service + a lousy web site where finding information is a pain.
#03. Too many fancy schmancy services (e.g. mobile TV) but 3G and data services are still a rip off.
#02. Prime Minister firing off a statement every few days about rising mobile subscriber numbers, alluding that all problems of Pakistanis are now solved and demanding that Pakistan is where all the foreign. investment should flow to.

Roads are available and electricity poll in situated up to 50 feet inside both the plots. I want to give both plots on lease to multinational mobile company for tower erection. Hence it is requested that the survey of my plots may please be conducted and I am sure that my plot will be fit for tower erection because basic facilities required for the same i.e. roads and electricity are easily available. I shall be thankful for taking anticipation.

Funerals and ringtones, interesting points. Well I guess some people don’t want(or don’t know how) to use the ’silent’ mode ever!
What about these:
People having cell phone only to give miss call
10) Changing cell phone without need
9) Buying cell phone for the features that one does not need
7) Taking mobile phones to funerals
6) Not keeping cell phones off even during important meetings
5) Renting mobile phones (Yes it is true and as low as 20 rupees a day)
4) Keeping more than five sims of various companies
3) Keeping more than one mobile phones simeltaneously
2) Having different cell phones for travelling and other for social gathering to show off
1) Having a competition of ring tones
Aqil Sajjad and peacenik: Thanks for taking my bait. We the “educated-upper-middle-classââ⠀šÂ¬Ã‚? have a lot of soul searching to do. For how long can we afford to remain indifferent towards the plight of our “large-mass-of-illiterate-people”. How long could we continue being greedy and self preserving. How many “Lal Masjads” do we need to wake up. How many dead bodies are enough. The sticks wielding and gun touting “masses” of “Lal Masjad” and “Shahra-e-Faisal” are not the disease but the symptom. There may not be enough time to say “Let them eat cake”. I say to myself and to all those from “educated-upper-middle-classââ⠀šÂ¬Ã‚?: Help the “large-mass-of-illiterate-people” to get out of their miseries. Help poor parents to send at least one child to the kind of schools you send your own children to. Believe me it is a very satisfying experience. Don’t leave them with no choice but to send their children to “Lal Masjad”.
“How to convince the “educated-upper-middle-classââ⠀šÂ¬Ã‚? to get involved in the uplift of the “large-mass-of-illiterate-peopleà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚??â€Â?
by promoting the value of simplicity. Holding a brand-new mobile set or driving a dining in a chic restaurant doesn’t give lasting pleasure, helping others does. And in the poor unfortunate country of ours, there’s no shortage of avenues
where one can lend one’s helping hand.
If we want to grow out of this mess, we will have to learn to work for each other, community service must be encouraged, and rather than sitting as keyboard warriers, let’s lead by example! Anyone?
