Telenor Pakistan 3G footprint in 45 cities with more than 1.3 million 3G customers

Islamabad, October 28, 2014 (PPI-OT): In line with its ambition to bring ‘Internet for All’, Telenor Pakistan will be expanding its 3G footprint to 45 cities by end of October 2014. During the fifth phase of commercial roll out, 3G services were launched in Lodhran, Khanewal, Malakand, Rahim Yar Khan, Murree and Nathia Gali whereas Lower Dir, Mansehra, Sukkur, Larkana, Ghotki and Bhakkar will be equipped with 3G service by the end of this month.

Free trial of 3G services will be offered to Telenor Pakistan’s customers in these areas for two weeks. The subscribers will be notified about the end of free 3G trial service via SMS and Telenor Pakistan’s official website. Under the free 3G trial offer, customers can enjoy 50 MBs of free data every day. Data services on 2G will be charged as usual.

Expressing his delight, Irfan Wahab Khan, Chief Marketing Officer, Telenor Pakistan said, “Telenor Pakistan is the largest and fastest growing 3G network in Pakistan with 1.3 million customers actively using 3G services in urban, semi urban and rural areas across the country.

We have a twofold strategy to aggressively roll out 3G sites in the country: one is to increase the number of 3G sites within a city thus expanding the in-city coverage and other is to increase the number of 3G cities across the country. We strongly believe that internet is a facility for the many, not for the selected few. Bringing 3G to 45 cities by the end of this month is yet another testament of our commitment to the ambition of bringing ‘Internet for All.’

Through enabling mobile internet growth, we are striving to expand the overall internet ecosystem in the country and the empowerment it brings to the people.” Telenor Pakistan is focused on providing 3G services to cater to a wider audience covering smart phone, tablets as well as data enabled feature phone users.

These services are providing high quality video and audio streaming and high definition games. Moreover Telenor App Store, launched in July 2014, is providing access to global content such as Gameloft, EA games, Disney etc. featuring 90% of free to download games. Telenor App Store is also powered with mobile payments company Fortumo’s direct carrier billing feature wherein Telenor Pakistan’s customers can make purchases with their mobile phone balance.
