Today WaridTel’s CEO Mr. Bashir Tahir announced publicly in a press release that WaridTel is not for sale. Since many months there was a rumor in the market that WaridTel is going to be sold to any of the existing mobile operator in Pakistan because of its low efficiency. Today the CEO of WaridTel denied this and further added that WaridTel is still looking forward for the expansion of its network throughout Pakistan.

Couple of months ago, the news of WaridTel being sold became very famous and the name that was appearing in the market was Telenor. Rumors were that Telenor Pakistan has purchased the remaining shares of WaridTel (by remaining I mean, already some of the shares of WaridTel are with SingTel). Sometimes it was even heard that Zong (China Mobile) is also bidding for the shares of WaridTel. But within last couple of months a sure news was coming out from everywhere that WaridTel is sold to Telenor and WaridTel will be re-branded into Telenor by March 2010.

Following is the Press Release of Warid Telecom (6th Feb. 2010)
