Mobile-Commerce is still in its experimental stage in Pakistan. There are hardly a few services to be named in this domain. Mobilink, an ORASCOM Telecom company based in Pakistan, has teamed up with Pakistan Post to launch Pakistan’s first Mobile Money Order service.

Using the service, Mobilink subscribers can send and receive amounts of upto Rs. 10,000/- across the entire country via SMS. But it is not as easy at it seems. You still have to go to authorized Pakistan Post Office branches and fill out a form after which, within 24 hours, this transaction may take place between two Mobilink subscribers.

Nevertheless, I believe such initiatives should be appreciated and encouraged to enhance Mobile commerce in Pakistan. I would also suggest that this service be extended to all other Mobile operators in Pakistan.

Chairman PTA, Dr. Mohammad Yaseen, also appreciated Mobilink’s innovative initiative at the inauguration of Mobilink’s new call center.
