Mobile phone

Recently, a news was published in dailies regarding the government's order to stop offer of free call facilities by the mobile phone operators in our country due to corroding of morality of our youths, hampering of their studies, facilitating of communication among terrorists and above all the acute network congestion after midnight. Moreover, these days the subscribers of some mobile operators have been facing wrong number problem which has increased at an alarming rate; the frustrated subscribers make the right calls but those connect to different numbers. This is why I believe the government has taken the right step to snap all those offers, but however, a leading mobile operator has given a cool offer of couple sim (I call it so) by which one can talk to a particular talking partner almost free of cost after the first minute twenty-four hours a day. As being impartial, for this couple sim offer I think it should win the battle of revoking all the free call offers because couple sim partners can enjoy this facility between them and there would not be any chance of random or prank calling by the anonymous after midnight.
