Ufone has launched Micro SIM in Pakistan. Also known as Micro SD Sim cards, these Sims are smaller in size and are used in modern gadgets. Apple iPad and iPhone 4 Sim cards are prime examples. Currently, there is no other Cellular service provider that offers iPhone 4 specific sims in Pakistan. So, the users have to cut their standard sim cards in order to make them fit for those devices. Ufone has taken this initiative for the first time and we’re sure that other providers will follow. These SIMs are available from Ufone Sales and Service Centers across Pakistan.

Price:

• New Sales – Rs. 150 + Tax
• SIM Replacement – Rs. 50 + Tax

Ufone Micro SIMs are available in limited stock, so rush now if you want one.
