Hello Mayeenul and Shabab, Grameenphone had enabled zero.wikipedia.org for free access for testing. It wasn't supposed to be launched yet, that's why there wasn't any promotion. I will meet with them next week and make launch plans.
Thanks for letting me know about the Banglalink SMS, that makes me happy. I will ask them for click-through data on the SMS. Thanks, looking forward to meeting you all next week -- and yes let's rock the event!!
