Facebook Banned in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has blocked access to Facebook after drawing competition of the prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and the country’s leaders were uploaded, reported BBC.
Officials said the ban was temporary and access to the site would be restored once the images were removed.
A spokesman for the Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) told AFP Facebook had “hurt the religious sentiments of the country’s majority Muslim population” by carrying “offensive images” of Prophet Mohammed [PBUH].
“Facebook will be re-opened once we erase the pages that contain the obnoxious images,” said Mr Delwar.
Most Muslims consider representations of the Prophet Muhammad to be blasphemous.

Ufone Introduces UTH Package
Following the footstep of Glow and Djuice, now Ufone has special offerings for the youth of the country. However, we can’t term Youth as a brand here.
If we look at tariffs, something that is really crucial amongst youth, they are only good for FNF numbers and night calls. Otherwise, normal rates for on-net and off-net are pretty high. Daily deduction of Rs. 1 may also annoy the youth – but they might love Rs. 2 for 300 text messages a day offer.
Other attractions include on-net night calls at Rs. 1 per 30 seconds and free call after 2 minutes, meaning that Rs. 4 per hour. Outgoing MMS are Rs. 1 per 64 KB message. Receiving MMS is free like any other Ufone package.
Following are complete details:
- Daily Charges are Rs. 1 plus tax
- Package selection will cost you Rs. 10 plus tax
- You can have 5 FNF numbers of Ufone, PTCL or combination of both
- Free calls after 2 minutes during nights are only for Ufone to Ufone calls
- Maximum call duration can be 59:59 minutes

Get Calling Details of Your PrePaid Numbers (Zong + Ufone)
Ever you wanted to know calling details for your mobile number? You may require this for several reasons, such as:
- You feel like that your mobile phone has been misused by someone around you, and you want to figure out who it was who kept calling from your phone without informing you!
- You have given a mobile number to your kid, and you want to keep an eye on his/her activities
- Even if there is no reason, you own this number, so you deserve a right to know what has been happening around with your phone.
Well, for those who are postpaid subscribers, they get their outgoing detail almost every month in form of their monthly bills. But for Prepaid users, getting call details is almost impossible for a normal person.
Other than Ufone and Zong, no one offers you this service. Meaning that, if you have any mobile connection, other than Ufone, then just forget about getting your call details, because no one offers this service.

- Call help line, and request for calling details… CSR will verify your number by asking information about you, and will dispatch call details on the address that has been associated with the number.
Charges
Ufone will deduct Rs. 50 (Including Taxes) from your prepaid balance. So you need to have at least Rs. 50 before you make any such request
What information you will get?
Ufone says they will send you complete outgoing call details for last 90 days, excluding current month. Don’t expect incoming call details or SMS details in this list.

GPRS Setting for Ufone – Step by Step Tutorial
Update: To get GPRS/MMS settings on your Phone
Almost daily, I get multiple emails from readers asking me to teach them on how to activate GPRS on their Mobile Phones and demands setting for their different models and cellular companies.
In response, I have decided to do a series of tutorials in which we will learn easy and simple ways to get GRPS activated on our mobile phones. To reduce the confusion I will start with Ufone, however, GPRS settings for all cellular companies, like Mobilink, Zong, Warid and Tenor will also be posted in coming days.
Step 1: Activating GPRS on your Ufone
You must activate GPRS for your Ufone number. In case you do all settings, and GPRS for your Ufone number is not activated then you may not use GPRS on your Ufone. In order to activate your GPRS services on Ufone number you can follow two ways
By Calling Help Line: Call help line and ask them to activate your GPRS and MMS…As simple, along with also tell them your Mobile Phone brand and model (for example, tell them that you have Nokia 6300 phone) and that’s it. They will activate your GPRS setting and also send you an SMS that will contain GPRS/MMS setting. Simply save this message. (When you will open this message, there will appear an option to save it) – So you are done. Now you can use GPRS and MMS on your Ufone number.
Note: After you call help line, and activate your GPRS, it may take couple of hours to get it activated on your number. So don’t expect GPRS working straight away.
Activating Via SMS: You can also activate GPRS on Ufone by sending an SMS in this format => [manufacturer
Example: Write: Nokia 6300 and send it to 222
After sending this SMS, you will have to wait for sometime (even 24 hours in some cases) and you will receive a SMS that will GPRS and MMS setting for your Ufone number. Simply save it and start using GPRS on you Ufone.
Note: It is better to subscribe by calling help line, as they will send you MMS and GPRS setting immediately. Subscribing GPRS via SMS may take as long as 24 hours.
So now you are done with GPRS and MMS setting, and can start surging internet on your Ufone number. Also check following tips for using internet on ufone.
Pricing
Remember that GPRS is relatively an expensive internet source. Ufone currently does not offer any unlimited data plan (package that allows unlimited usage). Hence, you will be charged on per MB download/upload basis.
GPRS usage Charges: Rs. 15 per MB (excluding taxes)
MMS Usage Charges: The cost of sending an MMS is Rs. 5.00 (excluding taxes)
The cost of receiving an MMS is Rs. 5.00 (excluding taxes)
