Ufone to Charge WhatsApp Calls With Regular Data Tariffs
Ufone has decided to charge WhatsApp calls as per regular data tariffs, i.e. Rs. 20 for 1st MB and then 19 MBs free. Regular usage of WhatsApp will be charged from data bundles volumes as per routine. New pricing mechanism is effective immediately.
WhatsApp calls, with all the amazing quality, have turned out to be a real threat for telcos, especially in developing markets where voice revenues are still notable and contribute a major share towards overall revenues of telecom operators.
Even worse for such telcos, WhatsApp calls work like a charm on 3G networks and this is exactly why Ufone has decided to charge WhatsApp calls as per regular data tariffs instead of bucket volume.

Whatsapp calls can be made on 3G & 4G network without any additional charges. However, due to the extensive use of Whatsapp, it is obvious that telcos do not want to be left out of the profits. This is why Ufone has decided to charge Whatsapp calls with regular data tariffs i.e. Rs. 20 for the first 1 MB and free for the next 19 MBs. If you think about it, 19 MBs will be used up in no time at all and Ufone can deduct additional charges for any further use.
