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
