Ufone New Website Launched

by MJK on November 23, 2009

Ufone has finally done away with its old website and came out with a newly designed website. The new website of Ufone is such that most of the options are laid on the front page and hence customers and visitors can easily browse through various pages. The front page also contains banner ads of various Ufone offerings.

The interesting factor about the new site is that it has brought  a lot of focus on Value Added Services offered by Ufone. In the previous website of Ufone, customer had to search for Mobile Games, Top Videos and Wallpapers while in their new website, Ufone has brought all those offerings to the front page to give them more visibility. It will surely add to the existing revenues from the VAS. The new website also offers Live Chat Support to its postpaid subscribers on its website. I wonder why they can not extend these services to Prepaid subscribers as well?

I recommend the new website of Ufone to all our readers and would love to have your feedback. To check the new website of Ufone, click here.

Do give us your feedback!
