Mee — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 07:02:36 +0000

Ufone and Nokia have announced the launch of “My First Mobile Internet Screen” initiative; a low priced Nokia Handset with lowest priced Internet service in Pakistan by Ufone that will empower consumers to avail cheapest internet access ever offered in Pakistan.

The package deal will provide Internet facility by Ufone on Nokia C1 sets. The service will be pre-configured on these devices.

This was announced at a joint press conference held by CEO Ufone, Mr. Abdul Aziz and Imran Khalid Mahmood of Nokia who also spoke on future initiatives that the companies will be taking together to enhance the mobility experience for both Nokia and Ufone customers.

All Ufone customers who purchase the new Nokia C1; a low priced Nokia Handset will avail the lowest priced internet rates in the country. The idea behind the initiative is to give internet access to the masses and allow them to experience the World Wide Web for the first time especially while on the move.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Abdul Aziz, President and CEO, Ufone said,

“Both Ufone & Nokia have been at the forefront of all technological advancement in the telecom industry. We together have and shall ensure that we continue to give our customers the most advanced benefits in the country. This partnership shall help strengthen our promise to empower the masses and ensure that our valued customers are happy with our services.”

Addressing the media, Mr. Imran Khalid Mahmood, Country GM, Nokia Pakistan said,

“Our sustained partnership with local telecom operators like Ufone is an indicator that we are a global company with a local approach. Just like Ufone, Nokia would continue to bring the relevant internet solution & applications to Pakistani consumers at affordable prices enabling more people to stay connected in new and better ways.”

The conference was also aimed at promoting sustainable environment. Ufone and Nokia customers can now help save the environment by being a part of the extremely important “Green Recycling” initiative. Nokia which announced its recycling program in Pakistan earlier last year is now poised for successful expansion of its environmental initiative.

Initially Nokia Recycling boxes were available at 10 Nokia Care outlets. However, with yet another exciting collaboration between Ufone and Nokia, Recycling boxes will now be placed at 24 Ufone Sales outlets across the country.

Furthermore, Ufone plans to bring extremely attractive value proposition on future Nokia smart phones for its High Value customers with most favorable usage plans, it is worthwhile to mention that last quarter 2010, Ufone and Nokia launched Nokia N8 and Nokia C3 devices with special data plans and the joint collaboration received tremendous response from the masses.

Apart from affordable internet rates, Ufone will also offer its subscribers the convenience of activating their “OVI store” at Ufone Customer Sales & Service Centers across the country.

Currently supported phones include N97 Mini and X6. Application Supports WordPress 2.7 or higher (WordPress.com and self-hosted both). It’s not yet compatible with Symbian3 devices like the N8, C6, C7
