Government Announces Free Internet & Minutes for All Pakistanis — Here’s How to Activate It

When Pakistan crossed a remarkable milestone of 200 million mobile subscribers, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) celebrated by offering free data and on-net minutes to users nationwide.

What’s the Offer?

Every mobile user in Pakistan Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, and SCO will receive:

  • 10 GB of free internet data
  • 1000 on-net call minutes

These benefits are valid for 1 week only and can be activated by dialing *2200# from any SIM card, including Jazz, Zong, Telenor, and Ufone.

Why This Free Package Was Launched

This generous offer is part of PTA’s celebration of reaching 200 million telecom subscribers nationwide. According to the latest stats:

  • Mobile phone users: Over 197.7 million
  • Broadband subscribers: 150 million
  • Fixed-line users: 3.75 million

This achievement highlights Pakistan’s growing digital footprint and the increasing accessibility of mobile and internet services across urban and rural areas.

Activation Process: Step-by-Step

  • Just dial *2200# from your mobile phone (Prepaid SIM required).
  • You’ll receive a confirmation message indicating activation.
  • Your 10 GB data and 1000 on-net minutes will be credited immediately and valid until midnight.

⚠️ Note: Some users reported issues activating on certain networks or regions, such as Islamabad on Telenor or Jazz. If *2200# doesn’t work, check with your operator. Prepaid and RICA‑verified SIMs are required.

What Users Are Saying

  • Many confirmed receiving the benefit successfully—some reported activation glitching or invalid code messages.
  • Several users noted the correct dial code is *2200#, not #2200#.
