Apon

This package allows you to call all Grameenphone numbers at a very low rate of 49paisa/ minute during 12 hours of the day. The rest 12 hours allow you to talk at BDT 99 paisa/min to GP numbers. It offers attractive rates at different times of the day to call GP numbers.

The new Djuice is a separate package from Grameenphone, offered for the Youth. All Apon subscribers can migrate to the other prepaid price plans Shohoj and Bondhu, also to Smile and djuice. Similarly, all Shohoj, Bondhu, djuice, and Smile subscribers can migrate to Apon.

Existing Smile and djuice connection will remain as is i.e. they will continue to enjoying current tariff plans unless they migrate to any other new tariff plans.

When a subscriber purchases a new prepaid connection, it will be activated under Shohoj (or djuice) price plan. After activation, they can migrate to Smile, Shohoj, Apon, Bondhu or Djuice price plan – for FREE.

To migrate, subscriber needs to write valid keyword and send SMS to 4444. Or just dial *111*44#. Following is the list of valid keyword (not case sensitive) for migration

Migration Process:

In case of IVR based Migration, all a subscriber has to do is dial 4444 and follow the instructions.

Existing Smile and Djucie subscriber tariff will be as is, but they can also migrate to new price plan i.e. Shohoj, Apon, Bondhu and Djuice (as per above mentioned migration table) if they want.

Newly migrated subscriber will not be allowed to enjoy any campaign offer which he was enjoying before migration. But if the campaign offer is also applicable to the newly migrated price plan then he will continue to enjoy the offer. Any unused bonus amount, free minute, unused VAS will be carried forward after migration.

A total of 3 GP-GP F&F numbers are allowed for each Apon subscriber.

After every migration, all previous F&F numbers will be removed from the subscriber’s account. Subscriber will be notified through SMS (after migration) about the deletion of F&F numbers. After this SMS notification, subscriber has to re-activate his/her desired F&F numbers, if applicable. F&F number activation process will remain as is, i.e.

A total of 3 GP-GP F&F numbers are allowed for each Apon subscriber.

The procedure of F&F activation and change/addition is as per the below table. The below format SMS needs to be sent to 2888 for Activation, Changing, Viewing, or Adding F&F numbers:

Already assigned F&F numbers can be changed after every 15 days.

Any unused VAS for which subscriber has already paid, will be carried forward after migration to new price plan. For example: if a subscriber activates EDGE P3 (which has a validity of 30 days), enjoys the offer for 20 days and then migrates to another price plan (as per above mentioned migration table) he/she will enjoy the rest 10 days of EDGE P3 which he/she has already paid for. Same logic will be applicable for any other VAS or subscription fee.

Subscriber’s account balance and validity will remain as is (.i.e. will be carried forward) after migration.

All other VAS tariff and feature will remain as is, outside the mentioned tariff plan.

Churned or reconnected (connections which are disconnected when their Service Period is over) subscriber will be activated under the default tariff plan i.e. Shohoj. But in case of SIM change, subscriber will be activated under his/her current price plan.

Note : Service period = 180 days after account validity period.

Below are the request types and reply SMS texts:

Yes. All Shohoj, Bondhu, Smile and djuice subscribers can migrate to Apon. Similarly, all Apon subscribers can migrate to Shohoj, Bondhu, Smile, Spondon and djuice. Following is the applicable Migration matrix:

Subscriber can migrate through USSD, SMS or IVR call. For SMS based migration, port is 4444 (applicable keywords are provided in the above mentioned Migration process in question # 2). IVR port too is 4444. And for USSD based migration, all you have to do is just dial *111*44#. Migration is FREE of charge.

The frequency of migration will be twice in a month, i.e. will have 15 days validity. If any subscriber migrates from one price plan to another he will not be allowed to make another migration again within next 15 days.

No charge applicable.

This package is for those prepaid users who prefer hourly based low tariff benefits, as well as F&F feature - like they were used to have in their Smile connection or as they see other competitors providing. This package has hourly low rate tariff bands as well as F&F facilities (GP-GP F&F only). The day time call tariff in this package (both GP-GP and GP-Other operator) has been reduced in order to give the subscribers more comfort zone.
