Though pure Urdu phrases are sight to see however we must also keep in mind that words like "Service on", "Service off", GPRS, SMS etc which maybe telco jargons or simple phrases which denote a service usage have been so well embedded in the mobile phones user's mind that any other Urdu replacement may actually cost the company in terms of sending confusing messages to the customers. Warid has launched a wonderful Urdu SIM & if you browse through its content & alerts I guarantee that you will enjoy the local language content as I did.
