Telenor Offers SIM Cutter Facility to Get Micro SIMs is a post from: ProPakistani

With the increase in popularity of micro SIMs, being used for gadgets like iPhone 4 and iPad, cellular companies have made adjustments in their SIM designs to facilitate their customers.

For an example, Ufone launched official micro SIM, which is available at all Ufone Service Centers. We have heard that Warid is working on similar idea as well.

However, Telenor has responded in another way by providing a manual micro SIM cutter at all of their Sales and Service Centers. This is a cost-effective way, in fact this must has saved Telenor from plenty investment to get in-house Micro SIMs.

So all the Telenor subscribers if you want a micro SIM, don’t waste your money on buying your own cutter or getting it done from a shop. You can head to any Telenor service center and get the cutting done for free. If you are not a Telenor customer, then try finding acquaintance with someone working at Telenor's Service Centers.

Following is an image of cutter available at Telenor's service centers:

Social Fantasy League by Castrol Magnatec

Social Fantasy League by Castrol Magnatec is a post from: ProPakistani

The World Cup Season is in full swing. Every brand is trying its best to get the maximum mileage out of this mega event. In the previous World Cup Campaigns we have seen brands going overboard in trying to outspend each other and getting the best visibility especially on the TV Channels. However, a lot has changed since the last World Cup.

This time, the brands have realized the importance of digital mediums to reach out to its consumers too. While most of the brands have gone the traditional route of setting up their own websites to engage the users, two brands have taken a very different approach.

castrol facbbook Social Fantasy League by Castrol Magnatec Castrol Pakistan has come up with Castrol Magnatec Fantasy League – which is a dream team contest with a twist.

The concept of dream team is not new but what makes this special is that you can access it right through your Facebook account. This means no hassles of lengthy registrations, complicated interfaces or trying to remember the name of another website. The other feature that I really loved is that I really get to make my dream team! I am not limited by any budgets and don't have to settle for players I don't even watch on TV. I can choose the players that I really want in my team. The scoring system of the league is dependent upon the Castrol Index- which is deemed to be one of the most comprehensive rating systems in International Cricket.

The prizes on offer in Castrol Magnatec Fantasy League are pretty impressive as well. The Grand Prize on offer is Sony PlayStation 3 along with BlackBerry phone, iPod Shuffles and KFC Coupons- which are given daily.

Their fanpage is also providing round the clock commentary and match analysis, so if you never want to leave your Facebook you can just get all the latest match analysis, live scores and updates from Castrol Cricket Fever Fanpage.

Another brand that has taken a very different approach is LG Electronics which is providing a desktop application called LG Cricket Chacha. ProPakistani has already covered it in its previous post. So the brands this time have really a different route. These two brands stand out as they are also the official sponsor of ICC World Cup 2011.
