Hello Mayeenul and Shabab, Grameenphone had enabled
zero.wikipedia.org for free access for
testing. It wasn't supposed to be launched yet, that's why there wasn't any
promotion. I will meet with them next week and make launch plans.
Thanks for letting me know about the Banglalink SMS, that makes me happy. I will ask them
for click-through data on the SMS.
Thanks, looking forward to meeting you all next week -- and yes let's rock the
event!!
