Today the customers want more speed and bandwidth and with the avalanche of smart phone the data usage is going up manifold. The 3G will open up multiple opportunities towards providing newer and more innovative services to the customers in the country and will also augment heavily many other industries,” said Veqar ul Islam, Senior Vice President and Member Executive Board at Comptel Corporation, in an exclusive interview he gave to Technology Times on the sidelines of his companys offering Dynamic SIM Management to Wataniya Telecom in UAE.
To a question, whether the Dynamic SIM Management offered to the Wataniya Telecom would support the Pakistani market, he said that absolutely, it would deliver a lot. He explained that today customers would like to have the choice to select the number and the services of their choice with multiple preferences. This is a trend, which is very common across the globe and is equally popular in Pakistan. With the Comptel Dynamic Sim solution, customers have the ability to search for available numbers, select the number they want, pick the services and the method of payment.
