Alright people, do not panic…
… that news spreading around Pakistan about a call from a certain number that can actually make you catch a deadly flu because of a mobile virus? Well, we’re fairly certain its a fake. Trust us, we’ve been field testing these things for a while now.
For the rest of us, yes that 15-minutes-of-fame prank did end up causing quite a bit of stir around these parts. Enough for GEO News to actually send out a public advisory like the above on national TV.
It is quite interesting to look at this in terms of how much mobile technology has penetrated our markets.
On another note, yes I’m still catching up and I’d thank the readers who keep sticking around… there is a lot to report from TIECon, Job Fairs, and elsewhere so keep tuned in…
