Now, I am tried of such advice as I usually have already made up my mind when I ask for something. I tried to cut the story short by telling him that it's only because 3 was cheaper and I didn't mind the drawbacks, and guess what? He made a counter offer! He not only matched 3's package; he offered 2 months free usage! Of course, this was a custom package as Vodafone doesn't have any package comparable to 3 in terms of price.Now at 66% of my PAYG cost, I could get three times more minutes and text messages from the same provider with 2 months of free usage.
I wonder how much profit margin is in there for the mobile companies!
Dost, Assalam-o-alakum.

I wish and pray for things to get better in Pakistan. Unfortunately, no matter how strongly the heart desires, the mind tells that its not going to happen any time soon.
Keep in touch...

Not sure about UK carriers, but US carriers have a tremendous amount of margin in terms of pricing. I have friends who've been able to get phone plans at 1/5 of their normal rates. Customer retention is big with a lot of companies.
