High mobile rate


I bought a mobile phone very recently and I'm getting myself used to the phone in all cheerfulness. My set is a NOKIA 1100 and the network is mobile to mobile AKTEL pre-paid.

I find it most interesting and a lot of facilities are available in my set, although because of my ignorance I enjoy only a few facilities. This is no more a luxury and really very much useful, essential and comfortable to contact anyone anywhere any time, which facilitates chalking out programmes. Life without mobile is unthinkable nowadays. Let everybody enjoy the facility of modern technology at a reasonable cost.

Last week, I purchased one card of Tk 300/- and with care I have been using the phone for a minimum possible time to convey and receive the messages. But to my utter surprise I have today a very negligible balance. The rates appear to be very much on the high side and quite puzzling.

Will it be too much to request the authorities concerned to consider reduction of the rates reasonably and genuinely for the convenience of all?
