Today I check Express Newspaper here is what I found.

Mobilink and Telenor have reverted back their SMS bundles for customers. Now customers can subscribe to SMS bundles as they used to do before EID. It may be recalled that Mobilink and Telenor had suspended SMS bundles during EID, apparently to load balance their network. Both the companies had to face intense displeasure from customers at all public

Ufone has launched this new promotion where the subscribers will get bonus balance for incoming calls.

The incoming calls have to be from operators other than Ufone or international calls. This service is available for prepaid users only.

A subscriber who gets a call from other network, will get 0.25 Rs in his balance if the duration of that call is more than 120 seconds (2 minutes). Meaning that 25 Paisas for each received call that is over 2 minutes duration …!

This balance will be credited to his account immediately.

One can find out about this balance through IVR by calling on 127 or by sending an SMS (USSD) to *127#. Charges may apply for balance inquiry as per standard balance inquiry charges.

We are told that this promotion is initially valid for 1 month (end of Oct).

Free balance is valid for 15 days.

Free balance will end at the expiry of the scratch card/ULoad validity.

This is a limited time offer.

To fix this error make sure you recreate the archives folder as well as the partial folder. open a console window and type

1. cd /var/cache/apt

2. Type ls check to make sure archives folder is displayed in case you dont see the archives folder create the folder

sudo mkdir archives if you already have the archives folder then skip this step.

3. type cd archives , create the partial folder by typing sudo mkdir partial

4. type sudo apt-get autoclean to make sure apt is working properly.

Thats it you should now be able to get apt to work properly.

We heard of it long ago and finally it is here. For those who don’t know about it, PTCL EVDO is the wireless broadband service by Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited(PTCL), the largest voice and data network of Pakistan. Though it is not launched officially but it is available for friendly user trials(FUT) via PTCL Corporate Customer Care (CCC) Centers or One Stop Shops (OSS) in Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore.

What is EVDO?

[Source: Wikipedia]

Evolution-Data Optimized or Evolution-Data only, abbreviated as EV-DO or EVDO and often EV, is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data through radio signals, typically for broadband Internet access. It uses multiplexing techniques including Code division multiple access (CDMA) as well as Time division multiple access (TDMA) to maximize both individual user’s throughput and the overall system throughput. It is standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) as part of the CDMA2000 family of standards and has been adopted by many mobile phone service providers around the world – particularly those previously employing CDMA networks. It is also used on the Globalstar satellite phone network.

PTCL is using CDMA EVDO Rev.A technology, which means speed can go up to 3.1Mbps.

What is the Tariff?

If we check through the official PTCL EVDO page we get no clue about tariff. Most possible reason is that it is not yet officially launched. However contacting there Islamabad CCC, I came to know that it is a shared broadband service for Rs.2500/month and speed can vary depending on location and number of customers using PTCL EVDO in a particular area. Additionally the EVDO card only works with laptops since it fits in PCMCIA slot. The site also states that USB EVDO cards would be available soon, means one can use it on a PC too.
Personally I guess this service will be yet another huge success for PTCL after their Broadband Pakistan service. I am not sure about the set up required to provide EVDO service. If it is not that much complicated, PTCL can widen its broadband services to rural areas. Even my native villagers are starving for a broadband service.

Telenor Paksitan recently launched a service called “Meri Zuban SMS“(own language sms). Using this service you can type an sms in Roman Urdu and send it to your desired number where the receiver will get your message in Unicode Urdu. According to official product page:

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to type a proper language text SMS instead of roman (Urdu,Punjabi, Pushto etc written in English)? If you have, this is just the service for you as it translates an SMS in local language script (Urdu) and sends it back to the recipient or to a number to which the sender wants to send the message to.

Usage instructions and charges are as follow:

Steps:

• Type the message in Roman URDU
• E.g. app kaisay hain?
• Send it to 211
• Translate/converted message in URDU language/script will be received

e.g. آپ کيسے ھیں؟

Telenor subscribers can type in the recipient’s number and then the message in Roman URDU and translated message will be sent directly to recipient’s number mentioned.

Steps

• Type in the number to which translated message should be sent followed by and then the message in Roman URDU
• e.g. 0345******* app kaisay hain?
• Send it to 211
• Translated/converted message in URDU language will be sent to the recipient 0345*******

e.g. آپ کيسے ھیں؟

Please Note:
Incase the message is not converted properly subscriber customer can type “MSG” and send it to 211 and last message sent in Roman Urdu will be sent back as it is.
This service is handset dependent and works properly on those handsets which support URDU and ARABIC script / language.

Pricing:
Re. 1 + tax applies to any SMS sent to 211. Recipient is not charged at any step

Here in Pakistan VOA Radio is 2nd popular service after BBC radio. If we rank Urdu news sites in Pakistan, VOA Urdu comes after BBC Urdu & Jang Online. News sites are quite popular among Pakistan internet population. So, lower in ranks doesn’t mean VOA Urdu is totally out of competition.
Getting back to the topic, earlier VOA Urdu was using Urdu Naskh Asiatype as primary font  for their site. Orignally Urdu Naskh Asiatype was developed by Liwal Software for BBCurdu.com. “Naskh” style is basically for Arabic while Urdu has its own writing style called “Nastaleeq“. Few months back it was only a dream to use a Nastaleeq font that can work equally fine on all Operating Systems as well all browsers. But thanks to Alvi Amjid who developed and released a font called “Alvi Nastaleeq” towards the end of 2008.

Recently VOA Urdu dropped Naskh font and opted for Alvi Nastaleeq. It is a giant step keeping in view issue related to font size & copyrights of this particular font. But one thing for sure is, now their web site seems a lot better and “Urdu-ish” after adopting this font(see screenshot above). This step is a huge success for volunteers that are working for development of Urdu.
