Is Zong going to introduce ZongTV?
June 26, 2008
Normally for mobile internet usage I use Warid’s Postpaid Infinity GPRS package, but I also got Zong’s prepaid SIM to check out what the services are like.
I activated Zong’s Unlimited GPRS package about 2 weeks ago for Rs.460 (including taxes), and have used it a couple of times. It works fine, but its definitely not as good as Telenor or Warid’s GPRS/EDGE.
Today, I put in Zong’s SIM in the E61i. As usual it asked if I wanted to send a message to get the GPRS settings, so I allowed it, and to my surprise, instead of getting 3 normal configurations of ZongWap, ZongInternet and ZongMMS, I got a 4th one as well called ZongTv!
This is the Configuration SMS I got from 131 for ZongTV
4th Configuration of ZongTV
This is the ZongTV APN settings which I recieved
Now when I got the ZongTV settings I was really surprised as I have not seen a single advertisement about it. I came online and also checked Zong’s Official Website for some clue, but there’s no mention of it anywhere.
Will just have to wait and see what this is all about.

@Murtaza
The helpline people are almost always clueless
We’ll just have to wait for Zong’s Official announcement.

I don’t know about ZoNG TV but I would like to talk about ZoNG unlimited gprs speed. I am using ZoNG gprs on mobile since May 2008. The downloading speed was 6–8 kilobytes/sec at that time but today I am surprised to see the downloading speed of 20–30 kilobytes/sec and upload speed of 7.5–8 kilobytes/sec.
I then checked their IP address. Now they are using Cybernet network for EDGE connection. This download speed is so close to my 256K broadband connection! but upload speed is still very low. I am using ZoNG EDGE connection on PC using Samsung E200 mobile as modem through usb cable.
I think, this is because of launch of USB card. Now, ZoNG is on top as far as mobile gprs speed is concerned. I am from gulshan-e-iqbal, Karachi.
