Pakistan’s cellular subscriber base continued its upward trajectory in August 2024, reaching a new milestone of 193.098 million. This marks a slight increase from the previous month’s figure of 192.924 million.
The rise in cellular subscribers was accompanied by a growth in 3G and 4G users, which now stand at 137.920 million. This translates to a penetration rate of 56.72% for Next Generation Mobile Services (NGMS).
While the overall cellular teledensity remained unchanged at 79%, there were notable shifts in the market share of individual operators. Jazz, Zong, Telenor, and Ufone all experienced changes in their 3G and 4G subscriber bases.
