MOBILINK GSM was the first operator to introduce SMS in Pakistan, an exciting new service that transformed the mobile using habit of our subscribers. This service represents fun as well as business.

SMS allows you to send and receive text messages from your mobile to other Indigo and JAZZ users. You also become part of the bigger GSM community of more than 250 countries worldwide. As long as the recipient of the SMS has this service, you would be able to send and receive an unlimited number of messages containing as many as 160 alphanumeric characters.

SMS is a great way of expressing your thoughts, feelings and emotions. An ideal medium of communication for situations when it is difficult to make/respond to a voice call e.g. while attending a seminar or in a cinema hall etc. Useful when communicating messages that you don't want to be overheard. Comes in handy when you are in a poor coverage area e.g. in a basement, in an elevator etc. Just send a text message and your communication is guaranteed. An effective communication tool for people on the move, such as sales forces, engineers or maintenance staff. Since the message is stored in your phone (SIM Card) it can be referred to, free of charge, as many times as required.
