  1. A-S,

    I can’t login to Wateen Self Care Portal?

    I am using my Wateen Internet user/pass to login?
    plzzz help

  2. Walikum Assalam

    Thanks for your feedback

    Adnan if you are wanting to Log Into the Self Care Portal you will have to use your Wateen’s Internet Username/Password which Wateen Provides when you join Wateen.

    Username : yourname@wateen.net
    Password : your-password-xyz

    Please take note that if you have changed your Internet login password and dont remember what it was – then you will have to Contact Wateen to get that password back.

    I was lucky that i saved that password on a flat-file on my computer – for backup reasons.

    Hope that helps!

  3. Hmm, i’m not sure exactly what you mean by Wateen Copied Internet Service Style?

    Did you try the above method i posted to login..?

    Did you ever change your Default Password that Wateen gave to you upon signing up with them?

    If you did change it that maybe the problem.. The new password you changed to wont work on it. You’ll have to enter the old (Default) password to login in there.

    Also are you a Post-Paid Customer or Pre-Paid?

    I have a PrePaid & Post-Paid Account but only the PrePaid account logs into the Self-Care center :s

    Not sure why, the sames with my friend who has a PostPaid connection can’t log into it – i am guessing that maybe Wateen will have a separate Portal for the Post-Paid Customers… Not sure though.

  4. Thanks Zubair

    yes it works now i changed my password and now it working for me when i got old password from wateen call center

    thank you

  5. @ruhaan – i am Wateen Prepaid user

    wateen service has been going down ? anyone noticing?

    wateen gaming portal is bekar!

    help me 🙁

  6. Wateen has been using a pre-made template probably from a TemplateStore like (TemplateMonster, BoxedArt, etc.)

    This is such a ripoff, a multi-million company using cheap websites – i dont know if Wateen’s senior executives know about this.

    They cant even hire 1 good developer/designer? 😮 why the hell are they using those shit templates that you can go and purchase for $10 and if you’re like a professional pakistani you will most likely pick it up from a Warez Website for FREE!.

    There new portal is shit and ugly too! not even working correctly.

    I’ve been getting calls everyday from Wateen’s CSR everday about 3 times a day!!! and they keep telling me to purchase their stinken services!!!! i already told them that i have already availed your fucking services but they still keep calling back and i’m just tired of this!!! WTF are they trying to proof… that they are completely a moron – dont know shit Company!!!!!

    Look at the nerves… when they call me buy their services and i tell them i already have it that fuckin lady asks me can you please give someone elses number who you would like to referr!! YEAH RITE! so that they could come to my home and flame me for referring to them!!

    Goto HELL WATEEN!

  7. @saeed: You’re welcome 😉

    @Kashif Ahmed:
    That is really bizzare.. the template does look kind of weird and badly editted.

    @adnan:
    Not sure about the gaming portal, there services is most surely going down for the past few days. but it seems its back and running fine atm.

  8. dear all we are not able to connect to wateen for last 2 days .wateen services is availbe in quetta or not. pl infom

  12. Did you try this Kashif? :

    Wateen Proxy:- 58.27.240.22:9060

    You can use the above Proxy I.P for X-Lite SIP.

    Let me know if the above Wateen Proxy works for you, if not i’ll try to see if i can find more.

    Happy Ramadan 🙂

  13. Hi,

    Just a follow-up update:-

    I’m extremely sorry Kashif but it seems Wateen isn’t offering this service anymore.. i visited the Wateen Franchise today and ask them about the details for it but they refused and said it isn’t currently available and it may or may not be available in the near future… They said “Theres no Promise that this service will be available but if it does become available we will notify you about it.”

    I told them, that recently Wateen was offering such service and they said it was being offered but not anymore for reasons they didn’t prefer to tell :s or maybe they just didn’t know the Answer.

    I’m sorry but i couldn’t seem to find any solution for this friend, but if i do i’ll report back.

    Let me know if you found a solution too. 🙂

  14. SelfCare portal is still working and I am using it. But there was some problem during last few days when I was unable to login to portal.

    What problem are you facing?

  15. Sorry for the confusion

    But i was referring to Wateens SIP service not working anymore – Wateens SelfCare Service is working fine here too.

  16. Hey,

    i was speaking with a wateen manager about half and hour ago, it seems they are doing something after i see they are taking in suggestions for improvements, they are also monitoring consumers – and calling them to check up – But sometimes this can really get annoying, like earlier when i was getting those calls from Wateen for purchasing there services even though i was already a subscriber – and i told them many times but it seemed they were from another planet where english and urdu were some funny words nothing else.

    The manager i was speaking with was pretty nice and was the only person yet who could really understand what i was talking – he also knew what he was talking about 🙂

    Until next time 😉

  17. I will say, that Wateen solutions including domestic and International voice services, video conferencing, as well as video telephony, and a real true broadband Internet and data connectivity has helped the corporate business customers as well as the individuals or residents in here in Pakistan.

    Thanks to Motorola, A company that is always there and being helping hand and helping Wateen explore the Pakistani market.

    We are a SEO Company, that provides SEO Services (Search Engine SEO Optimization Services), Website Design and Website development to our clients based in Australia, Canada, USA, UK, Entire Europe, The middle East, and Asia, North and south America and other regions of world, but since the broadband in Pakistan was not very well established there been really quite so many issues while communicating with different customers from different time zones.

    Wateen has surely helped companies like us (in the Outsourcing Industry) and Offshore business, as well as the leading Industry e.g. Textile and Leather and Sports Industry, telecommunication and other corporate business and residents.

    Wateen now becomes the only company in Pakistan, providing cost effective professional solutions to all your communication ranging from video conferencing to a hi-speed internet.

    We see great future lies ahead for Wateen and its subsidiaries and Thanks to Motorola again!

  18. Hello Riz:

    Thank you for your comments.

    To be frank, its not a paid advertisement or I am not here internet marketing or search engine marketing for M/s: Wateen Telecom Pakistan or Motorola.

    Both these companies are helping both Pakistani Business Companies or the corporate sector as well as the residents in here in Pakistan.

    Therefore, I see a valid reason to talk about these companies are currently helping Pakistan a lot.

    I remain at your disposal for any information or assistance you may need. Please feel free to contact.

    Thanks and have a good time ahead.

  19. I dont have big complaints about Wateen but there seems to be a mess in their offices at Islamabad (I-8 Markaz). Its now 20 days now that I had asked Islamabad office to provide me a public IP. I am still waiting and there is no one whom I can approach and take the feed back as to what is the problem while all the documentation has since been completed.
    I will say someone should be given the responsibility and he should be made publically available.

  20. Wateen record hit broadband market causing Etisalat(PTCL) to rollback its broadband infrastructure from pakistan.

  21. y wateen is costly then others also i have speed problems other networks gives unlimted downloadind y not wateen

  24. My name is Faheem and have just had wateen today,

    but really am so worried coz of reviews i got from different people about wateen, and they all say that its bad, there is signal issue, and stuff like that, and especially pls increase the 5gb limit, i mean spending 1300 rs and getting just 10gb, pls enhance it to 30gb atleast,

    and pls improve ur customer service, am myself a bba student adn the problem u people r facing is that ur making new customers quickly but loosing previous customers because of ur poor customer service, pls if u want to be a customer friendly service provider make sure customer customer support is really important to solves issues for them, pls, hope it will be a nice journey with u people, and service remains gud and does not get worsened as consumers grow, INSHALLAH.

    1. Hi Faheem,

      Thanks for your response – Wateen improved alot since the old days.. i am noticing that now!

      So has their customer support 🙂 but still let us know how your expereince goes 🙂

      I’m not sure if i remember correctly, but i think wateen doesn’t give a 5GB Bandwidth limit i think Wateen is limited to 15 GB Bandwidth maximum. but yeah that still sucks!

  25. Zubair,
    pls give me ur email id, i wan tto talk to u,
    i mean i ve just got my wateen and i am very disappointed from thier response, i mean such pathetic customer service they give, a person came and gave me the device , now there is not 1 single signal i am recieveing, and they are just making wired, coz no one is the person who i am communicating just does not respond in a gud enough manner , and i think that i ve ruined the whole money ,thinking of returning it, but they wont accept it now. pls help me bro, am very irritated and worried, and ur id pls.

  26. hey what if you dont remember the initial password like when you purchase the service ,that mean you could not log on to that selfcare site .thats absurd i mean they always tell you to keep chaning the passwords ..shady cunts

    1. @To Yuppie: I guess your best bet would be to contact the service center – you can ask them to reset the password for you.

      They ask you to change your password often because for your own security, but i dont do that i just stick with 1 password that is very very hard to guess.

  27. I am a regular user of internet since long. I am always searching for best internet connection. So, I decided to take an advantages of broadband technology chooses wateen telecom for this purpose with a speed of 1 MB. Unfortunity, I have faces so many problems like connectivity, slow browsing and slow downloading transfer rate for type of data form the net since the activation of my connection on 14-08-2008 till the date. I repeatedily made a request to connect your helpline and concerned business centre at Okara for the same.If, I make a comparission of this connection with a dial up connection It would not hard to say that dialup connection is better. Now, I have to decide for future usage with wateen or with PTCL broadband with unlimited downloading. Kindly, make some help or otherwise I have to leave this network.An early cooperation from your side is awaited.

    1. @Muhammad Tariq Javid:-

      I’m so sorry to hear about your experience, how long has it been since you became a wateen consumer?

      if you still have the chance to get a refund – DO IT.

      Yeah, i bet you’re better off with PTCL – you can try other services such LinkDOtNet, i’ve heard they are good but you should probably still do alittle research online on any isp you are thinking of going with.

  28. hi i am a wateen user and i had a problem with rapidshare recently the problem is whenever i try to download anything from it it says your ip is already downloading a file but i am not downloading anything actually!!!!it was working fine 2 weeks ago until today i tried to renew ip/flush dns/clear cookies nothing happens even if i try to do it from my laptop same thing happens!!! my chachu says wateen network gives same ip for every user thats y it is happening so if anyone could give me an ip which is not in use zubair dude probably you!!……….(PM me caouse if anyone else knows that ip its no use!!:P) thanx very much

    1. @paramore:

      Hi, sorry to hear about your troubles.

      Yeah, Wateen has been using static ip-addresses – i found out this later after getting the connection aswell.

      But after contacting Wateen i found out that you can get dynamic ip’s if you take your CPE device (the wateen wireless device) to your nearest Wateen Service Center, they’ll do some tweaking and you will then be able to use Dynamic IP instead of Static.

      Hope that helped 🙂

  29. hye thanx for your reply!…….but i contacted wateen they say we dont have any ip’s they say its could be a rapidshare prob……………………well anywayz they wont give me an ip so i will buy ptcl unlimited they say ptcl assigns one specified ip to every single user and no one else can use it!!…………..so w8 do you suggest me??? also wateen give me stupid downloading speed of only 50-60 kbps plus limits downloading for 15gb only at 1.5K!!!!!but ptcl offers downloading speed of 200+ speed with unlimited downloading!!! so i rather buy that……..but i contacted them for fiber optic but they say its not available in your area!!:( so w8 should i do?? should i buy the copper one???? my friend says copper one gives you alot of downtiming but a another friend with fiber optic ptcl says its fantastic…….so should i buy the copper one??

    1. No problem, i think the guys at Wateen CS mis-understood you because i have confirmed that wateen is providing dynamic IP’s for everyone.

      You just have to take your CPE device to the service center and they will do the rest.

      But yeah, you are right about the capped bandwidth – Wateen needs to increase their bandwidth limit.

      As for PTCL, i would say they are good.

      I’d recommend going for the PTCL Broadband connection – if possible. Though you will need a PTCL (Telephone) connection.

      I think it cost about 1200 rupees for the ptcl broadband connection with 1MB uplink and unlimited downloading.

      If you are able to get a PTCL connection, i would really recommend that – the experience really differs from person to person, meaning while i might have a good experience with Wateen & PTCL your experience might not be the same.

      This is not just for PTCL, Wateen or Mobilink this goes for every ISP.

      Some of my friends have had a great experience with PTCL broadband while others had a terrible one.

      If you’re using Wateen currently and are not satisfied by there services or support – you should definitely switch your ISP.

      Wateen has been going good and bad not very stable to say the least.

    1. @Saadia Khan:

      Thanks for posting that, but unfortunately that wont help you change your “Real” ip address.

      Below is a quote from the article you posted:

      If your IP is static, then you CAN’T change your IP address without contacting your ISP.

      I believe what is being explained there might only be useful for those who are connected from Local Area Network (LAN).

      none-the-less, you are free to try it out and experiment.

      🙂

  30. You are sayng right Zubar regarding static IP . However i dont think so that paramore has static IP. As you know that every Wateen user has IP ether static or Dynamic:)

  31. hey i was downloading from rapidshare just fine yesterday but then yesterday night my wateen stopped opening every website and now in the morning when i logged in rapidshare says already a download from your ip in progress now w8 the hell m i supposed to do???? r u sure that if i go to wateen office they will assign me a dynamic ip???i can go to the one in 1/8markaz…..will they do it????and second thing should i buy the ptcl fibre optic or copper i already have copper but fibre gives better speed but its not available in my area so w8 should i do???

    1. @Paramore:

      I totally agree with Azghar Ali.

      but i am also positive that if you take your Wateen CPE Device to the service center, i am sure they’ll covert your static ip into dynamic – anyways, it doesn’t hurt to try?

  32. Paramore – i am using PTCL DSL Package 1

    Paying 1200 rupees per month, but its a heck of alot better then Wateen.

    You should try that – i dont know what you mean by fiber or copper but i am referring to PTCL Broadband package 1 (which is 1 MB per month + unlimited downloading).

    i dont know if wateen will give you dynamic ip though, i was using wateen until 3 months ago when i finally made my switch to PTCL Broadband.

  33. well i dont know stupid slow speed drives me nuts!!! so i will just discontinue use of wateen and buy ptcl 2mbps, i have already ordered and will soon get it inshallah………just tell me if ptcl downloading speed is 250 kbps in I/8-4 or not???or are they just rumours?and also tell me how to register an account with demonoid.com i visit that website everyday they say registrations are close and zubair if you or any other person in this place is a demonoid user plz plz plz send me an activation code at intelligentmaxima@hotmail.com ……….yara apnay musalman bhai ki kuch madad karo…:P demonoid say mene drake and josh kay four seasons karnay hain aur wahan par loog kehtay hain aala speed hai torrents ki:P jst email me thnx!

  34. Dear All,

    Just wanted to inform you that Wateen has recently lowered it’s prices for Wimax tariff. Furthermore if you have any pending concerns regarding Wateen services, you are encouraged to send an email to customerservice@wateen.com and we will ensure timely resolution.

  35. According to me Wateen is very good service after unlimited. and hope that they will provide more packages in future as well

  36. Hi, may I know Wateen Wimax service in Quetta Cantonment mainly in Infantry school premises, I am under posting there. Can some one help me

    1. @Zafar Yaseen

      I’m sorry but i dont quite correctly understand what you’re asking?

      If you want to know if Wateen Wimax service is being offered in Quetta? then yes I’m pretty sure i’ve seen someone from Quetta post that.

  37. the persons praising wateen, in my opinion are just fool.
    my every friend using wateen are facing a number of problems with this shit service.
    i suggest all wateen users to get rid of this service.

  38. rates for wateen
    256-5gb 599 permonth for usb and 750 for wifi blade
    512-5Gb 699 for usb 1mb-5Gb 799 per month for packages of 10Gb and unlimited mode please contact at 0333 5946370

  39. Used wateen’s WiMax about a year ago, and got poor signal strength and all sort of problems, so reverted back to PTCL’s broadband. Well after a year now it is showing signs of great improvements. Improvement in download speed is clearly noticeable, so again converted back to wateen in all of our offices.

  40. To paramore:: i am also getting the same problem like you, wateen is giving me the static ip when ever i reconnect it & if i connect usb after 12 hours it will give me a new ip, i am also having the PTCL DSL conection its fine & when ever i restart the Ptcl modem it will give me a new ip address everytime but in wateen case when ever i logout from wateen portal & also unplugged device it will give me the same ip address which is to bad.

    i am pretty old user of rapidshare they will allow only 2 downloads per ip in 24 hours & if you wanted more downloading from rapidshare you will need a new ip address or use a proxy to download a file, i am going to try “Zubair” method about dynamic ip, i hope so it will work, i am getting 60% signal’s from wateen usb dongle (1Mb) & it will giving me 90kb to 115kb maximum, thanks

  42. Toady 03-05-2010 I return back to my DSL Modem to Defence telephone exchange due to improper service.
    I lodge my first complain on 23-04-2010 or 24-04-2010 and than after every day I lodge my complain about the improper work of my DSL,But nobody give me satisfactory reason, Some times they blamed to Modem setting and sometimes due to telephone exchange technical fault,
    Helpline service is very bad for talk to operator/technical staff need an hour, Plaese check the data from my call history of my landline and cell phone 0333 3685566 for confirmation, Every time after a long wait some times 58 minutes and more than an hour I didn’t get any positive result, Today I visit to Defence telephone exchange at about 9 AM but no DSL staff was there, The DSL staff come on duty after 10 AM and after that they told me that they have not received any complain about my DSL from the concern department.
    Sir, What is this joke ? I expense couple of hours from my cell phone and PTCL landline to register my complains but no one if forward my complain to the DSL staff, Today I left my DSL modem after improper answer at telephone exchange,
    Now my modem is lying in the Defence telephone exchange and What may I do ? What is the solution ?
    Please exchange my modem with a proper working modem or disconnect my DSL service if the PTCL staff is not interested to give me DSL facility from our company
    I hope I will get the reply soon

    1. @Sohail:

      When you submit a complain do they provide you with a complain number# ?

      If not, you should demand one.

      If you don’t receive a complaint no# that means your complaint wasn’t registered into their systems.

      It sounds odd, but some of my friends who are using PTCL Broadband are pretty happy with it, I will be writing a post regarding it soon too since i have switched from Wateen to PTCL as well about 1-2 months ago, i am very satisfied with the changes and support i received.
