It is really a good step taken by the mobile phone company mobilink in Pakistan to introduce a new mobile payments system for the different utilities bills. In countries like UK and USA many phone companies including vodaphone, orange , O2 , T-mobile etc are alreday having more or less similar systems. Now at this stage it is really a big step taken by Mobilink toward mobile phone Commerce. I am expecting soon many more features associated with this service as the ability to shop online on your mobile phone. Mobilink have partner with citibank, KASAB bank, etc to provide this facility.
Here is mobilink statment

Is mobilink genie working for anyone? I’ve tried several people (Mobilink customers) try to register but they don’t receive response from short code. We don’t even know how the software works and which phones. What are GPRS charges? Is it for post-paid only and that’s why no response?
On separate thread, there is a rumor the service was launched without regulatory approval from PTA or SBP and it has been blocked. That will explain the silence response from short codes.
Definitely a great initiative in its area.
