The excitement never ends with a Grameenphone postpaid connection! This Independence Day, xplore postpaid subscribes will discover a whole new range of attractive offers, that begins with the unification of the two separate packages - xplore package 1 and xplore package 2.

The new F&F rate for xplore postpaid subscribers is 25 paisa/min to 3 F&F numbers, 24 hours a day. Moreover, xplore subscribers can now change their F&F numbers every 30 days, instead of the existing 60 days.

Regular tariff and SMS rates have been slashed down as well. xplore subscribers can now enjoy a flat tariff of BDT 1.30/min for calls to any operator 24 hours a day. SMS to F&F numbers is charged at BDT 0.50/sms, while SMS to any other number, including other GP numbers, is BDT 1/sms.
