Before 2 or 3 years ago, thinking about using internet services on your mobile phone was a nightmare. No mobile phone company was offering any economical internet package especially for students. Instead, packages offered at that time were 'self-discouraging'. But from the past year, it is being noted that mobile network companies really want us to think about their GPRS packages. Let's take a look on current best internet deals offered by your operator. For warid and zong, I only found 1 best deal for each.
For Warid Customers:
Charges: 12 Rs + Tax
Time Limit: 24 hrs
Data Limit: 50mb
To subscribe: SMS 'Daily' to '7777' (Daily Basis)
Note: Best time to subscribe is at 12:00 am. No matter when do you subscribe your package will be expired at 11:59 pm.
Update 27-4-2012: Warid has changed the data volume for this package from 50mb to 15 mb per day :(
For Zong Customers:
Charges: 35 Rs + Tax
Time Limit: 1 Week / 48 hrs
Data Limit: Unlimited (Beware, you know what they mean by 'unlimited' : D)
To subscribe: SMS "sub<space>weekly" to 906
Note: The package will be effective for one week but you can use GPRS for 48 hours within a week.
For Jazz Customers:
For Mobilink Jazz customers, these 3 packages seem feasible:
|
| Sr.. | GPRS Bundle | Price-PKR | MBs | Validity Period | To Subscribe, Dial |
| 1 | Jazz GPRS Daily Bundle | 9.99 | 10 | 24 Hrs | *114*1# |
| 2 | Weekly GPRS Bundle | 39.99 | 40 | 7 Days | *114*7# |
| 3 | Monthly GPRS Bundle | 99.99 | 200 | 30 Days | *114*30# |
For Ufone Customers:
I bought my first uFone sim in 2007 and the only internet package being offered at that time was Rs.18/mb. Due to the hard competition, you can see it on it's knees:

For Telenor Customers:
Don't know why but Telenor is offering least interesting internet bundles for their customers. Let's take a look:
| Activation | *345*901# |
| Price | PKR 10 (no additional charges) |
| Volume | 3 MB :( |
| Validity | 1 day |
| Usage Tracking | *999# @ PKR 0.15+tax |
|
| Activation | *345*902# |
| Price | PKR 35 (no additional charges) |
| Volume | 15 MB |
| Validity | 7 days |
| Usage Tracking | *999# @ PKR 0.15+tax |
|
|

If you have noticed, in daily package, they are offering 3mb for 10 rupees and in Mini, they are offering the same for 4 Rupees, it's pretty funny, isn't it?
