Mobilink Launches DoubleUP Number Offer

Using your new DoubleUp Number:

You can start using your DoubleUp Number immediately, given that you have sufficient balance to cover call charges. DoubleUp Number uses the same balance as your regular number so there is no need for any special recharge vouchers – all your billing is conveniently consolidated against your primary Mobilink number

Making & receiving calls / SMS:

To make a call or send an SMS from your Mobilink DoubleUp Number, simply add 88 before the number you are calling or messaging. For example if you want to call/ send SMS to 030XXXXXXXX, you would dial 88030XXXXXXXX. The called party will see your DoubleUp Number as CLI without the 88 i.e. 030XXXXXXXX. PTCL numbers can also receive and make calls to DoubleUp Number.

People who want to call or message you can easily do so by dialing your DoubleUp Number just as they would any regular Mobilink number – there is no need for them to add the 88 prefix. The CLI displayed on your phone when you receive a call or SMS on your DoubleUp Number will have the 88 prefix before the calling party’s number – this helps you identify the call as one on your DoubleUp Number.

Scheduling your DoubleUp Number:

At times when you do not want to receive calls on your DoubleUp Number, you can just log-off from the service via IVR or SMS. Simply dial 4030 from your phone and select 1 to log-off or 1 to log-on (in case your DoubleUp Number is logged-off). You can also use the log-off or log-on command via SMS to 4030 to manage your active / non-active states

We also provide the facility to schedule log-off and log-on, in which case the service will automatically become inactive for the times specified by you. For example if you do not want to receive calls / SMS on your DoubleUp Number between the hours of 5:00pm and 9:00pm; dial 4030 from your phone and when prompted select 2, and follow the directions to enter log-off / log-on times.

With this control over the service’s active / non-active state, you can easily keep your regular Mobilink number on and not have to worry about receiving calls on your DoubleUp Number when you do not want to.

Blocking unwanted callers on your DoubleUp Number:

This is a subscription based feature for Mobilink DoubleUp Number which allows you to control which numbers can call on your DoubleUp Number. To subscribe for this useful feature dial 5929 or SMS ‘sub’ to 5929.

Once you are subscribed for this feature you can easily dial 5929 and select 1 to add any number you want to block. There is no limit on how many numbers you can add to the block list. To unblock any number simply select 2 after dialing 5929 and specify the number to be un-blocked when prompted.

You can also use SMS to block and un-block numbers by using the ‘Block’ & ‘Unblock’ command and send to 5929.
