Warid to Get Equity Injection from Shareholders Posted: 05 Oct 2011 03:35 AM PDT Warid Telecom is likely to get an equity injection as a first trench to support the company to streamline it's operations, we have confirmed this with two different sources close to the company. One source said that this injection could be as high as US$ 35 million or Rs. 3 Billion, while other source was unclear about the exact value of capital that Warid will get from shareholders. Warid has been struggling for long to get aggressively into the cellular front-end race, which was earlier disrupted due to it's possible sellout and was later hampered due to top level management changes in the company. After two years of tremble, Zouhair Khaliq was given the headship earlier this year, who had nothing much (in terms of finances) to bring the company back to track. In addition due to alleged conflicts with-in the company, Zouhair Khaliq is yet to deliver the results. However, with this anticipated fund injection, it is hoped that Warid will be able to better it's positioning in the market. Expect more news, maybe an official statement, on this development in coming days. Related posts:

Zong Steps Up for Flood Victims Posted: 05 Oct 2011 03:30 AM PDT Like previous year, Zong has once again stepped up to help the flood victims of the country. The telecom company has pledged to allay the misery of flood victims and has decided to provide its flood relief activities into 3 categories this year. ZONG has announced to contribute to the cause through company contribution, staff contribution and customer contribution. As a first step ZONG has donated Rs. 1 million in PTV's Special Telethon Transmission 'Dard Aashna' to Prime Minister's Flood Relief Fund. The major part of relief would come from company's contribution of Rs.10 million for which the Company has lined up a lot of things to help the affectees of floods. ZONG will be distributing food rations and medicines as relief goods. The Company will be setting up 20 FREE PCOs, providing ZONG handsets for 1,000 families, distributing 10,000 SIMS along with free balance in the affected areas for flood victims to get information; seek help and be in touch with loved ones. As a part of staff contribution, ZONG's employees will be donating salary of one day for flood victims. Apart from this, staff will also be volunteering in flood relief programs which will be identified by Human Resource department of ZONG. While text messages will be sent to ZONG customers to volunteer in donation campaigns as a part of customer contribution, customer will also be given the choice to reply with 1 to 20 as donation. Salman Wassay Head of Marketing, ZONG conveys his thoughts by saying,
Last year ZONG had given free handsets, SIMs & EDGE Dongles to International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide free phone service to flood victims to get vital information, seek help and access relief services offered by the government and other aid agencies. Related posts:

How to Enable 2 Step Verification for Google Account? Posted: 05 Oct 2011 01:16 AM PDT Google offers this 2 step verification to all of it's users – which helps any Google account holder to verify authentication in two steps to avoid any hacking or misusage of account. Here's how it works: If 2 step verification for Google is enabled then only password won't be enough to get you logged in. Upon entering the password, Google will send you a code on your registered phone – only after entering that code into Google account will allow you to access your account. In short, no potential hacker won't be able to access your account – because he/she might have your password but he/she won't have your phone. You can ask Google to remember approved computers (such as your home PC or your laptop) for 30 days – to avoid entering pin every time you login. How to Enable 2 Step Account Verification? Step 1:
Step 2:
You’re Almost Done: After clicking the verify button, system will take you to the confirmation page, detailing that 2 step verification has been configured for this account. Click on Next to add backup options for receiving the verification codes needed to access your account. This backup option is backup phone number that you may ask Google to send verification – in case your primary phone is lost or is not available. You can skip this step if you don't want to setup backup verification phone numbers. After adding the backup options, you will be forwarded to this page. Here you will be confirmed that 2 step verification is configured – you just need to enable 2 step verification now. That's it – you are done. Next time you whenever you will try to login – Google will ask for PIN, which is automatically sent to your phone via SMS. Note: After 2 step verification, applications such as Gtalk may not accept your usual password. You need to create special password for application. Follow this few steps for generating special passwords for applications…
