The number of mobile users in Bangladesh is surely a huge one. But the number of mobile service providers is not that many. The companies are concentrating more on advertisement and increment of customers, than quality and customer service. This is true about almost all the companies engaged in this business.

The common problems with mobile companies of Bangladesh is their coverage area and network availability. They should install sufficient infrastructure before the number of subscribers cross the limit of their handling capacity. The second point is that the companies have to decrease their rate.

I wonder people in how many developing counties have to pay this much just to make a call. Hope we will get a good and decent service in a decent rate very soon.
