Warid Telecom, Pakistan’s most trusted cellular operator, announced the launch of the industry’s first shared plans with its LTE MiFi.
The MiFi device functions as a portable wireless router that can connect up to 10 smartphones, tablets or laptops, whereby users will have access to LTE speed internet on the go in all major cities around Pakistan. Shared Plans, available for both prepaid and postpaid customers, allow the users to choose up to two additional Warid numbers to share an internet plan and a common bill whenever and wherever they are.
