      <title>Mobile data and call package prices rise in Pakistan as PTA reports up to 33% increase</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330464793/mobile-data-and-call-package-prices-rise-in-pakistan-as-pta-reports-up-to-33-increase</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan’s leading mobile operators have increased the prices of several call and data packages, with some hybrid and data bundles becoming up to 33% more expensive over the past year, according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PTA has published the latest pricing details for the top 15 hybrid and data bundles offered by Jazz, Zong, Ufone and Telenor on its official website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the regulator, the updated information shows significant price increases across multiple package categories over the past 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;figure class='media  w-full sm:w-full  media--center    media--uneven  media--stretch' data-original-src='https://i.aaj.tv/large/2026/07/23170654d2b7a68.webp'&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Monthly hybrid call and data packages have become as much as Rs500 more expensive, while prices of 15-day hybrid bundles have risen by up to Rs300.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Weekly hybrid packages have recorded increases of up to Rs130.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;figure class='media  w-full sm:w-full  media--center    media--uneven  media--stretch' data-original-src='https://i.aaj.tv/large/2026/07/231707138463c72.webp'&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PTA’s data also shows that prices of three-day bundles have increased by up to Rs21, two-day packages by up to Rs20, and one-day hybrid bundles by up to Rs5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The authority said it has upgraded the Consumer Awareness section of its website to improve price transparency and help consumers make informed decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;figure class='media  w-full sm:w-full  media--center    media--uneven  media--stretch' data-original-src='https://i.aaj.tv/large/2026/07/23170725cfd479b.webp'&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the PTA, the platform now provides a simple comparison of the top 15 bundles offered by all four mobile operators, allowing users to compare packages based on their budget and usage requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The regulator said the initiative is aimed at helping telecom consumers compare available packages, monitor the latest pricing trends, and choose the most suitable options.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;figure class='media  w-full sm:w-full  media--center    media--uneven  media--stretch' data-original-src='https://i.aaj.tv/large/2026/07/23170737ce0205d.webp'&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PTA advised consumers to regularly check its website and the websites of their respective mobile operators for the latest package information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It added that the initiative forms part of its commitment to protecting consumer interests and promoting transparency in Pakistan’s telecommunications sector.&lt;/p&gt;
