Pring: First A Pakistani Social Network for Mobile Users Sent Free SMS

These days social networks (over internet and mobile phones) are getting popular amongst Pakistani youth. Few days back I got an invitation on my cellphone, someone asked me to join “PRING” – A social network for mobile phone users. As I became a part of it, I find it very useful, and here i am with its review.


What’s Pring?

Pring is a social network using the modern technologies, Internet and Mobile phones to connect you and your buddies; it lets you share what you’re upto with your friends via your cell phone or online in 140 characters or less. I hope the following video will describe it more efficiently:

Why should I use pring?

By using Pring you can stay connected with your friends, custom applications, premium services all via your handsets, Can get latest updates from your Twitter and Facebook accounts, Rss feeds, news about media, sports etc, Can follow other pringers, chat with other people using public prings, Pring’s philosophy is to enable everything via your handset in a way that don’t require internet. This works very well because many people still do not have internet connectivity but do have basic SMS and voice access. The service is free in this Open Beta, so why Don’t give it a try! Just Pring It!

Note:

* For more information send Help to your respective code.
* This service only works with Warid Ufone and Zong, until now
* Please use your respective code for sending sms, otherwise it will not work and you will be charged.

Example:

Mobile: You can join Pring by sending an SMS to 2323

1. Write “hello” and send it to 2323
2. Pring will reply you with the following message: “Please register with Pring by replying with your name”
3. On receiving this message you will have to reply with a valid username – Pring will then reply you with the following message: “Greetings user! Welcome to Pring. Sms HELP to get more information.”

You can also join Pring by accepting invitation from an existing Pringer (say sonny)

Example:

1. Sonny writes “invite 03001234567” and sends it to 2323
2. You receive the invitation from sonny: “Greetings! sonny wants to follow your updates on Pring. To register, reply with your name.”
3. You will then have to reply with a valid username to start using Pring
