(Cont’d): The survey results indicate that CMOs are generally compliant in terms of data throughput (download and upload speeds). Jazz consistently led in download speeds, while Zong performed strongly in upload throughput. However, certain Voice and Latency KPls fell below licensed thresholds in some areas, particularly for Telenor. Operators deploying advanced technologies such as LTE Carrier Aggregation and Voice over LTE (VoLTE) demonstrated better service quality for their subscribers. PTA has issued necessary instructions to operators to take corrective measures and ensure service quality improvements in line with regulatory standards. The detailed survey results have been published on PTA’s official website | for public information. pta.gov.pk/category/qos-surv… This service quality monitoring initiative reaffirms PTA’s resolve to ensure the provision of enhanced mobile services to consumers and to uphold fair competition among operators in accordance with regulatory standards. #PTA #QoS #QualityOfService #MobileNetwork #TelecomPakistan #DigitalPakistan #5GReady #BroadbandPerformance #NetworkQuality #ConsumerProtection #TelecomRegulation #Jazz #Zong #Ufone #Telenor #MobileBroadband #VoiceQuality #SMSService #PakistanTelecom #ConnectivityForAll #PTAUpdates #TechPakistan #TelecomNews #DigitalConnectivity #BetterServiceBetterPakistan

To evaluate the performance and quality of services being provided to consumers, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has conducted Quality of Service (QoS) Survey in 18 cities across Pakistan during the 1st Quarter of 2026 (January-March). Survey routes were carefully designed to cover main roads, service roads, and major residential and commercial areas. Using mobile handsets in technology auto detect mode, PTA field teams tested Voice Calls, SMS, and Mobile Broadband/Data Sessions with the help of state of the art automated QoS Monitoring & Benchmarking Tools. The objective was to assess compliance with Next Generation Mobile Services (NGMS) licenses and the Cellular Mobile Network Quality of Service (QoS) Regulations 2021. Based on the compliance level of each KPI against thresholds defined in the respective licenses and aforesaid regulations, CMOs have been ranked between 1st to 4th position in Mobile Network Coverage, Mobile Broadband, Voice and SMS Services. #PTA #QoS #QualityOfService #MobileNetwork #TelecomPakistan #DigitalPakistan #5GReady #BroadbandPerformance #NetworkQuality #ConsumerProtection #TelecomRegulation #Jazz #Zong #Ufone #Telenor #MobileBroadband #VoiceQuality #SMSService #PakistanTelecom #ConnectivityForAll #PTAUpdates #TechPakistan #TelecomNews #DigitalConnectivity #BetterServiceBetterPakistan

(Cont’d): On a positive note, the issue regarding access to PTA’s toll-free helpline from subscribers of all operators, which had been highlighted in the previous survey, has been successfully resolved across the industry. In addition, significant improvement has been observed in reconnection time performance, with most operators meeting the prescribed thresholds during the current reporting period. PTA has directed all operators to address the identified deficiencies and submit compliance reports within one month.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has conducted a comprehensive survey to evaluate the Customer Service Key Performance Indicators (KPls) of all Cellular Mobile Operators (CMOs) operating in Pakistan. The survey assessed critical aspects of customer interaction and service delivery, including helpline accessibility, response time for operator assistance, complaint resolution turnaround time, success rate of issue resolution, and accessibility of emergency services. The evaluation was conducted in accordance with the Telecom Consumer Protection Regulations, 2009. The findings indicate a mixed trend of compliance and non-compliance across the industry. Notably, call center operator access times exceeded the prescribed thresholds for all CMOs, namely Jazz, Telenor Pakistan, Ufone, Zong, and Special Communications Organization (SCOM), indicating prolonged waiting times for customers seeking assistance. Furthermore, SCO did not provide the required data relating to billing accuracy and associated complaints. The survey also identified discrepancies in the routing and mapping of emergency helplines. These included the misrouting of Child Protection Helpline (1121) calls in Gilgit-Baltistan, as well as the absence of proper mapping for essential services such as Edhi (115), Pakistan Railways (117), NDMA (911), and Chhipa (1020) across certain operators and regions. These shortcomings require immediate corrective measures to ensure reliable, timely, and efficient service delivery. #PTA #Pakistan #Telecom #CustomerService #ConsumerProtection #DigitalPakistan #Telecommunications #CallCenter #MobileOperators #Jazz #Zong #Ufone #TelenorPakistan #SCOM #EmergencyServices #PublicService #CustomerCare #TelecomRegulation #Trending #Viral

India’s prepaid mobile users are caught in an internet tug‑of‑wⱥr — paying for data that disappears at midnight with no refund, no rollover. AAP MP Raghav Chadha took to the Rajya Sabha to call this out, saying every megabyte unused is lost forever despite being paid for. His parliamentary speech shines a spotlight on unfair daily data limits, sparking a broader conversation on transparency in telecom recharge plans. 👉Why Rollover Matters Imagine paying for 3GB per day but never using it all — shouldn’t that unused mobile data rollover to tomorrow? That’s exactly Chadha’s demand. He’s pushing for data carry‑forward, discount adjustments and even data sharing among users — treating paid data as digital property rather than an expiring resource. 👉 What This Means for Telecom Users This debate isn’t just political noise it affects telecom consumer rights, prepaid recharge fairness and digital inclusion across India. As mobile data becomes essential for education, banking and jobs, better policies could reshape how millions pay for connectivity. ⚡⚡ Do you think unused daily data should roll over or is this just telecom marketing?

On the occasion of Mauritius’ National Day, we spotlight the country’s key digital governance priorities and enforcement approach. Mauritius pairs strong ‘digital state’ ambitions, ranking in the UN’s very high e-government group (EGDI 76th in 2024), with a security agenda that officials say placed it in Tier 1 of the ITU Global Cybersecurity Index 2024. A defining recent test came in November 2024, when the ICT regulator instructed ISPs to suspend all social media until 11 November over ‘illegal postings’ framed as a security risk, only for the restriction to be reversed within days amid public pushback.

Watch | Budget Session 2026: Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha raised the issue of mobile phone consumers in the Rajya Sabha. He said, "Today, I want to raise two problems on behalf of prepaid-plan mobile users. The first problem is that after the recharge expires, not only outgoing calls but also incoming calls get blocked. When the prepaid plan expires or the mobile recharge validity ends, your voice gets silenced. The phone is mine, the SIM card is mine, and the number is mine, so, sir, it makes sense that outgoing calls get blocked after the recharge ends. But blocking incoming calls is outright arbitrary... I have three specific demands. The first is that in prepaid mobile connections, incoming calls and incoming SMS should continue for at least one year..." @raghav_chadha | @AamAadmiParty | #BudgetSession2026 | #RajyaSabha | #RaghavChadha | #AamAadmiParty | #AAP | #MobileUsers | #PrepaidUsers | #MobileRecharge | #TelecomIssue | #IncomingCalls | #PrepaidPlans | #TelecomRegulation | #IndiaParliament | #ConsumerRights | #MobileConnectivity | #UNI
