Zong Pakistan was among the first mobile networks in Pakistan to launch 4G LTE service. The company has over 14,000 4G sites throughout Pakistan. It operates on a 10 MHz block of spectrum awarded in an April 2014 PTA auction. It has also re-farmed five MHz of its original 1800 MHz GSM spectrum to increase channel width to 15 MHz.
The partnership will enable Zong to offer 4G service in remote areas, which is crucial to ensuring greater connectivity. The two companies have agreed to cooperate on a number of projects worth billions of rupees, including laying optical fibre and deploying telecommunication infrastructure.

VEON App by Jazz
While the VEON App by Jazz for Zong was free to download and use in Pakistan, it was a massive failure. The app failed to consider the unique needs of the Pakistani market and society, and it was a one-size-fits-all approach that wasn’t suited to the needs of its users. As a result, the app was quickly removed from the Google Play and Apple stores.
Users will be able to receive offers in their Veon accounts once they have signed up for the app. Users will also have the option to subscribe to specific channels, which are managed by content partners. These channels are useful for promotions and discounts. Users can also opt-in to receive notifications when new offers or deals are posted, and a variety of other notifications.
Although Veon is not a natively localized app, it aims to become Pakistan’s version of WeChat. However, it will have to face many challenges in its mission to penetrate the Pakistani market. One of the biggest barriers to its success is ‘The Great Firewall’, which blocks the use of most western social media apps.
UMTS
Zong Pakistan is a mobile network operator with its headquarters in Islamabad, Pakistan. It provides voice and data services through prepaid and postpaid plans. In June 2014, the company launched 3G UMTS service over the B1 (2100 MHz) band. Later in 2014, Zong also launched 4G LTE. Zong operates on a 10 MHz block of spectrum that was awarded to it in an April 2014 PTA auction. The company also refarmed five MHz of its original 1800 MHz GSM spectrum to increase the channel width to 15 MHz.
Zong Pakistan recently announced that it had successfully tested 5G in the country. The test, conducted at its headquarters in Islamabad, generated download speeds of over 1 Gbps. The company has since secured temporary 5G licences from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. The company is now testing 5G technology on 2.6 and 3.5 GHz bands.
Zong Pakistan is launching 4G service in over 300 cities in Pakistan. The operator’s 4G subscribers already number at 2.0 million. It has also expanded its 3G network to cover more than two hundred towns. In December 2016, the network reached seventy-seven percent penetration. In rural areas, 80 percent of the phones still operate on 2G technology.
EDGE
In Pakistan, the mobile network provider Zong offers its customers a variety of services, including 2G GSM services over the 900 and 1800 MHz bands. Its network has been expanded to offer 3G UMTS services over the B1 (2100 MHz) band in June 2014. In September 2014, Zong became the first mobile network provider to offer 4G LTE in the country. The service is offered over a 10 MHz block of spectrum awarded in the April 2014 PTA auction. In addition, Zong has refarmed five MHz of the original 1800 MHz GSM spectrum to increase the channel width to 15 MHz. These two blocks are contiguous spectrums and Zong’s 4G network is now available to more than 10 million customers in Pakistan.
Zong has also expanded its services to support the local community. The company has partnered with local governments in the KPK and Sindh regions to help people in need. It has supported orphanages, nursing homes, schools, and other organizations to help them get the essentials they need. It has also committed to support vocational facilities for girls and women.
GSM
Currently, Zong Pakistan offers 2G and 3G GSM services on the 900 and 1800 MHz bands. The company also offers 3G UMTS on the B1 (2100 MHz) band. In September 2014, Zong became the first mobile operator in Pakistan to offer 4G LTE service. The company uses a ten-MHz block of spectrum that it won in the April 2014 PTA spectrum auction. In addition, it refarmed five MHz of its original 1800 MHz GSM spectrum to increase the channel width to 15 MHz. This ten-MHz block is contiguous, allowing Zong Pakistan to support 4G LTE services.
Although GSM and 4G are available in Pakistan, the two services are not yet equally available throughout the country. Users in rural areas may not have access to 3G or 4G service, and may only have access to 2G service. In rural areas, villagers may have access to “mobile points” and know where to get the service.
LTE
Zong Pakistan has launched a new 4G service. The new service will enable Zong users to enjoy fast internet connections and more affordable internet packages. As one of the largest network providers in Pakistan, Zong is committed to offering its users the best possible cellular mobile data services. The company offers Super 3G and 4G mobile service in almost all parts of the country.
The company partnered with ZTE in order to offer dual-band LTE. The partnership will boost spectrum efficiency and network capacity, and Zong claims that its customers will experience a 40% increase in average throughput. This new service is available in over 170 locations in the country. However, it is not perfect.
If you’re interested in trying out Zong 4G LTE, you’ll need a 4G-enabled smartphone and a compatible 4G LTE SIM. You can buy a Zong 4G SIM online or at a Zong Sales & Service Center. If you’re having trouble connecting to the internet, you can contact Zong customer support to get help. They can also send you the proper settings for your handset.
