Great source of information. Since 1987 I am a regular listener of BBC Urdu and world service. Now I use mobile free basic for this great source of reliable information.

The most brilliant app that only Zuckerberg invent, Free basics literally what the world should have! A free internet!

★☆☆☆☆ Zakir Hussan · Aug 13, 2026

Really the worst app! Don't install it. You can't do what you are thinking. This app just redirect to those websites or if you install any app (like facebook) this app will redirect you to the official (facebook) app.

★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Alexander · Aug 21, 2026

They say Cell C or MTN. I am using Cell C but the app shows that it is not available for my service provider
