No phone line is needed; just insert a USB card in your laptop / PC and start enjoying broadband wherever you are. No need of WiFi hotspot; you are your own hotspot
Speed up to 3.1Mbps (3000Kbps)
Send / receive SMS on laptop / PC (bundle offer)
Free email account with 20 Mb storage capacity
Unlimited downloads (data, songs, videos etc.,)

The rates and packages are not confirmed yet so we will have to wait a little longer for that.

its time for Wateen to review their WiMAX packages and take some serious steps to curb the aggressive growth of PTCL that we have seen lately in the past few months.

Those are quite crap imho. I used them before I got my warid stick and they are shit.

Im using Warid usb edge in my car, get about 20-30kbps download. (stick did cost approx 10k)

Will deff try this out, but wondering why they cant give me 3mb at home if they are going to offer it in this deal.

True, but itll come at a cost. The stick will most prob be 8-10k, and then for a 3mb must be atleast 2-4k a month if not much more.

Lets see, taalz pls send me any info as u get it.

Well my friend is using worldcall EVDO in karachi. he has 1mb package. I asked him about speed. he told me speed is 100KB+ on 1mb link. and no downtime in service. now see what is the device price of PTCL EVDO and about their service. maybe they launch only in few cities on start.
