Or

Some lucky sims(like info, drag n honsule sims) dnt, while some unlucky sims(like myne n others) do.

Re: Zain 3g Only For Postpaid? by samtek(m): 9:14pm On Aug 20, 2009
Which area is dat?
Well its dsame tin @ my side
Re: Zain 3g Only For Postpaid? by cabali(m): 11:01pm On Aug 20, 2009
It is true Zain 3G for now is activated for post paid lines only and prepaid users considered to be high end users and all this is due to capacity issues. The prepaid lines that are on the 3g network got there by one of two possibilities

1. They got lines at the shops meant for 3G data cards or modems or

2. They got it on their already activated lines when the consultant at the shop (by discretion) submits the line for the acticvation profiling the prepaid customer as a high end user.
Re: Zain 3g Only For Postpaid? by lynxnoon(m): 11:06pm On Aug 20, 2009
can u explain exactly wat u min by a high end user?
Re: Zain 3g Only For Postpaid? by cabali(m): 11:14pm On Aug 20, 2009
someone that recharges a lot on his line. . . and has high activity on the network. Or someone that the consultants know to be a potential high user. Like a bank worker or oil worker or business man.

Pls I did not say it is restricted to these kind of people. 'cos I know a lot of people will say I said it is only for people that have jobs. I have not said that

over 92% of zain customers are on prepaid. so you want to tell us the company will ignore a potential income stream for a meagre fraction of postpaid customers who are very busy to even have the time to use the internet. no wonder the company is broke.
my friend this company had lack competent engineers. period. this 3G issue got nothing to do with subscribers. their gprs is only funtional in few areas. 3G no be garri.
