Following the Mobilink, Telenor Pakistan has decided to increase balance inquiry charges by 50 percent from all its prepaid customers.
A message that is being displayed on Telenor’s website reads that charges for all Balance inquiries over USSD are being revised to Rs. 0.15 + Tax, i.e Rs. 0.18 including tax.
Telenor was earlier charging Rs. 0.10 without ax of Rs. 0.12 with tax for all kind of balance inquiries.
It maybe recalled that Telenor was the first in industry to charge balance inquiries back in July 2009
, followed by Ufone, Mobilink and Zong.
Also to mention here that balance inquiry charges were approved by PTA, but it had asked operators to give 30 days prior notice to customers before increasing any charges.
