Mobile phones and Data Services
Mobile phones are now-a-days additionally used for data communication. Data communication covers two things as follows:
· SMS
· Internet Browsing
SMS stands for short messaging service, while internet browsing involves the uploading and downloading of data. There are many network operators that offer Data Services to their customers. Here we have some example of such operators:
· Singtel
· Warid
· Mobilink
· Telenor
· Insta Phone
· Ufone
· Paktel
SMS is one of the data services that is available on every mobile phone, whether from o2 or another company that will sell mobile phone models. But for internet browsing one needs to have a GPRS enabled mobile phone in order to use internet services. In today’s environment there is much competition among all the network operators and every company wants to have competitive edge over the others. Warid is offering data services to people by giving a data sim to the customer, which the customer can insert into the mobile phone and have internet services only. You should remember that data service is not for voice calls. Sim is also available and it can carry out the functions of voice calls and data services.
