As of 1st July 2005,Pakistan had registered 15.5 million mobile phone connections.The country's population currently stands at 165 million.
About 13 lakh new users are coming up every month divided into 6 cellular phone companies .Since the arrival of mobile telephony in Pakistan in 1991,about 3,300 users have been added up on average up every day.Mobile phone connections have already surpassed PTCL's fixed line connections by 3 times over.
Mobilink still enjoys the largest market share with 7.5m subscribers(48% of the total) although its market share is coming down gradually.
Norwegian telecom giantTelenor served 839,289(5.4%) people and similarly the service of the UAE-based Al Warid was being used by 508,655(3.27%) people by June 2005.

Mobilink provides confusing info about its tariffs and packages:
It seems that stiff competition has still not waken up Mobilink from its inefficient customer services although it has been penalized a few times by PTA but invain.
If anyone has to find out its calling rates and tariffs,it gives out different rates on its website,call center and printed guides as if to deliberately confuse an average subscribe as to what actually the reality is.
For instance,when one calls 111,the info provided is strange.It says 'an extra surcharge of Rs.3 will be charged on every international SMS'.What is this extra charge and why didn't we know about it?
Mobilink Jazz's calls to same network are still the highest at Rs.4.20 per minute whereas other networks charge an average of Rs.2 per min(same network).
Then the call center provides confusing info about validity of the scratch cards.It says cards with denomination of Rs.600 and above are valid for 6 months while a retailers say all cards are valid 6 months but the Mobilink's main office staff told me that easy-loads are valid one month only.
All this is very confusing and it seems in this age of competition Mobilink is still bent upon earning revenues by confusing its subscribers by giving out different info and charging another tariff in reality.
It is no surprising PTA has given a deadline to Mobilink to get its act together and perk up its services or else face a stiff penalty of $300 million coming soon.
