Warid launches Collect Call and SMS service which is an addition to the utilities provided by Warid to its valued customers. Instead of calling party paying for the call and SMS as the system usually works, Collect Call and SMS allows receiving party to pay – where by allowing the calling party to make the outgoing call or SMS free of cost.
The service is also available to Warid Roaming Subscribers which would allow them to request the receiving party pay for outgoing call when they are roaming outside Warid`s Network.
