Keeping up with its promise of providing internet connectivity to everyone, Telenor Pakistan is increasing 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 get 3G service by the end of this month.
Two weeks of free 3G service trial will be offered to Telenor Pakistan’s customers in these areas. Customers will be informed about the end of free 3G trial service via SMS and Telenor Pakistan’s official website. This offer will provide customers with 50 MBs of free data every day. Data services charges of 2G will remain the same.
Showing his delight over this achievement, Irfan Wahab Khan, Chief Marketing Officer, Telenor Pakistan stated, “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 aims to provide 3G services to a vast audience comprising of smartphone, tablets as well as data enabled feature phone users, enabling high quality video and audio streaming and high definition games.
