The Pakistani American Community is seriously concerned about the Govt. of Pakistan neglegence to consider the contribution of hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis who send foregin exchange to Pakistan and always contribute in needs of natural disasters. Instead of creating better communication oppurtunities for overseas Pakistani's in US and elsewhere the rates of Phone calls from US to Pakistan have gone up by almost 8 times. As listed by Vonage below:"The Telecommunications Authority (PTA) and the Ministry of Information Technology (MOIT) in Pakistan have ordered price changes that will increase the cost to complete calls to Pakistan by more than 500 percent, impacting Vonage and other carriers worldwide."
We strongly urge the Pakistani Government and PTA to reverse these pice hike in phone calls to ease up our concern.

This is ridiculous. My parents live back home and I cant even afford to check on them anymore. Fix this now.
Total greed. They know we have to call home so they think they can just charge us whatever they want. Stop this.
500 percent??? Are they insane???
Ridiculuos price hikes. We send money home to help out why make it impossible to even talk to our families?
Need to bring these rates back down. Hard enough being away from home without this.

My calls to my mom are costing a fortune now. It is not fair to treat overseas pakistanis like this when we are the ones helping the economy.
