Just after Zong, Ufone also offers this service for its subscribers now though officials are unaware of this.

Signup and usage procedure is same as discussed earlier in the launch of this service by Mobilink and Zong.

We just signed up for the service and it works well, as you can send tweets, retweets and get updates for free by simply going to the profile of the user whose tweets you want to get on mobile and click the mobile updates icon.

It merits mentioning here that Ufone is currently deducting standard charges for the SMS (Rs. 1 plus tax) for each update and when asked Ufone about the charges, CSR claimed that they are unaware of this update and twitter may be showing Ufone in the list on its own but there is no update like ufone getting partened with twitter.

Though one can easily recon that Twitter only shows registered networks and now Ufone is there. Staff may be unaware of the this update yet but the matter of concern is, Ufone is deducting Rs. 1 plus tax for each tweet while it is now confirmed that Zong is offering this service as per you package plan, like if you have subscribed to SMS bucket, each message for tweet will be deducted from that package instead of your credit.

UPDATE:

After contacting ufone many a times and registering a suggestion to make it official, Ufone has finally taken step to launch this service officially. As we previously covered that all the staff was unaware of this add-on but now Ufone’s website shows this service with details as discussed above.

http://www.ufone.com/mobPro_TwitterOnSMS.aspx

And yes, Ufone is deducting Rs. 1 plus tax for each tweet, now let’s see to keep the competeion with Zong, Ufone reduces the charges or it opt for the loss of customers, though small in number, to shift to Zong!

Part of the Dawn News was already shown in the post where the application date was clearly mentioned as 16th of March 2011 whereas ufone’s official website which updated after this application shows this date as 1st of July.

Ufone’s official website shows the following message:

Dear Customer, At the time of account recharge, a service charge of 5% (on scratch card/utopup face value) + Government taxes will be applicable on all transactions via UTopup or scratch cards, effective from 1st July 2009.

While talking to one of the Ufone offical, she said this has not been updated yet while one can clearly understand that this is not the case of not being updated instead this is a clear mistake which openly contradicts the date given by Ufone on the previous ad in newspaper.
