The update comes in response to recent price hikes reported by leading telecom operators. ProPakistani reported that several call and data packages have increased by up to 33 percent over the past year. The publication noted that monthly hybrid call and data bundles have seen price increases of as much as Rs. 500, while 15-day hybrid bundles have become costlier by up to Rs. 300.
PTA’s move is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure tariff transparency in the telecom sector. The authority stated that it has introduced a more user-friendly and comprehensive display of tariff trends for top 15 subscriber-wise hybrid and data-only bundles offered by Jazz, Ufone, Telenor, and Zong. This initiative aims to facilitate easier comparison among different packages.
The updated information includes package-wise quarterly prices, annual increase percentages, validity periods, and the incentives offered by operators. PTA’s Consumer Awareness section now provides a clear overview of the current pricing landscape, enabling consumers to make informed decisions about their telecom subscriptions.
This initiative is seen as a positive step towards greater transparency in the telecom sector, which has been facing criticism for frequent price hikes. By providing detailed and up-to-date information, PTA hopes to address consumer concerns and promote fair practices among operators.
