Telenor Pakistan has announced on Wednesday that it has crossed the 2.6 million 3G subscriber mark in 73 cities - enabling the company to maintain its leadership as the largest and fastest growing 3G network in the country. During the current phase of commercial rollout, 3G services were launched in Pabbi, Karak, Sheikhupura, Toba Tek Singh, Lakki Marwat, Mianwali, Khyber Agency and Vehari.
Free trial of 3G services will be offered to Telenor Pakistan's customers in these newly added 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.
It is pertinent to note that in 2013 Telenor Pakistan underwent an enormous network modernisation activity which comprised swapping every single facet of its network, from base station equipment to value-added service platforms - and with this development it became the first mobile operator in the country with an end-to-end modernised network. The equipment installed was 24 percent more energy efficient and possessed intelligent power management features with reduced power consumption.-PR
