  • Mobilink And Telenor To Deduct 7% Service Charge On Reloads

    Ti’s a sad day for Pakistani mobile phone users (all of Pakistan). Two of the telecom majors of Pakistan, Mobilink and Telenor, have both announced they have increased the deduction on reloads by a whopping 7%. This came as a shock to not only the avid mobile users, but to the lower class folk who hardly have enough to get a 100 RS. recharge per month.

    While people are appalled by this enormous increase in “service” charges, the telecom giants are deeming this as a fair return to the service they’re providing and the quality of the network. On top of this service charge of 7%, they already had the tax deduction at 10% which in the end makes it a total of 33.19 Rupees being cut from your 100 Rs. reload.

    So here is the simple version, you get a 100 RS. reload on your account, you lose 33 RS, you get only 66 Rupees out of your total 100 rupees paid. And this is not the end of it, this service charge increased in just six months. I think we’re heading towards a time where people will get 200 rupees reloads to get 50 rupees in their accounts.
