Voice call through PayForMe

Grameenphone come up with another interesting service named PayForME. Now, a GP subscriber can call another GP subscriber even if the caller does not have sufficient balance.

To avail this service a subscriber needs to dial *123* followed by the intended number and press the hash key (#), i.e. *123*017xxxxxxxxx#. If the intended receiver agrees to pay, the receiver will be charged for the call. The caller must have an active SIM to avail this service.

The intended receiver of the PayForMe call will hear a recorded message asking whether s/he is willing to receive the call and accept the charges. If willing, the receiver will press 1, or else, press 2. Usual GP-GP tariff as per the receiver’s product will be applicable (peak, off-peak and pulse rate included).

A maximum of ten PayForMe calls can be made in a day. If a particular subscriber (A) is rejected thrice by another particular subscriber (B) in a single day, the subscriber (A) will not be able to make any PayForMe requests to that particular subscriber (B) for the rest of the day. Any GP Pre-paid (SMILE, djuice and Business Solutions) or Post paid subscriber can enjoy this service.

Earlier Grameenphone had introduced the PayForMe service for the first time in the country with an SMS option. This service, also known as “Collect Call” service, is offered by very few of the mobile operators around the world.
