One line observations for each package:


Ufone Uth package: Good all rounder package, GPRS prices are a bit on the high side otherwise it has all the ingredients a youth needs.


Warid Glow: Good call tariffs and GPRS bundles, very poor sms bundles. Giving more choices in sms bundles will definitely take this brand forward. Recognize youth's need, give more sms packages!


Telenor Djuice: Call tariffs require some discounts.! Youth also needs to talk and not just sms.! Djuice can really move ahead by offering good call tariffs. They revised their sms packages as well, they had to!


Mobilink Jazz Octane: Clueless soul in a crowded world. requires total change and relaunch.!!
