    today i am very happy to hear that etisalat have started its network in Afghanistan. every one knows it will end the monarchesm of Roshan and AWCC in Afghanistan because those companies sucked the blood of the poor Afghan by selling their poor coverage sim cards.
    once again i am extremly happy and i convey my warm regards and greetings to the owner and worker of respected etisalat cell phone company.
