Friends and Family for GP REGULAR and GP NATIONAL

GP has introduced a Friends and Family (F&F) option without any additional monthly fee to its GP Regular and GP National subscription. Now a subscriber can choose any three (3) GP numbers as his/her F&F numbers and avail the opportunity of calling these numbers at a flat rate of Tk. 1.5 per minute from any where within GP coverage area, 24 hours a day.

To install F&F numbers a subscriber simply needs to send an SMS to 2800 mentioning the desired three F&F numbers collectively or individually. For sending the numbers at a time, separate them with comma. Please do not leave any space or use any symbol or characters. You will receive an acknowledgement SMS on your F&F request followed by a confirmation SMS on successful activation. Activation of F&F may take minimum 72 hours and the F&F tariff is applicable only after receiving the activation confirmation SMS.
