On reaching the milestone of 200 million telecom subscribers in Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has announced a special one-day package for users.
All telecom subscribers will receive 2 GB of free data and 200 on-net minutes, valid for 24 hours, on June 20, 2025. The offer can be activated by dialing *#2200# from any network.
Pakistan has crossed a major milestone in its digital journey, with total mobile subscriptions surpassing the 200 million mark.
According to the latest PTA statistics, the number of mobile phone subscribers has crossed 197.7 million, with 80.30 percent of the country’s population now having access to mobile services. Broadband subscriptions have reached 150 million, while fixed-line telephone users stand at 3.75 million.
To commemorate the achievement, a special ceremony is being organized at the PTA Headquarters in Islamabad. The event will bring together key stakeholders from the telecom industry, including mobile network operators (MNOs), mobile device manufacturers (MDMs), and senior officials. Discussions will focus on progress in connectivity and future strategies to expand digital services in Pakistan.
As part of the celebrations, PTA and its partners are launching several public-focused initiatives. Mobile network operators will offer free voice and data bundles to users nationwide on the day of the event.
Mobile device manufacturers have also been invited to support the initiative by contributing 10 to 15 mid-range smartphones, which will be distributed among attendees through a lucky draw.
