The regulator used its 10 zonal offices from 8 to 14 October 2026 to check services in six regions and set deadlines for operators to fix faults.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the national telecom regulator, said it intensified nationwide monitoring to improve service quality.
From 8 to 14 October 2026, work ran through PTA’s 10 zonal offices, with visits in Thatta, Dera Ghazi Khan, Mandi Bahauddin, Quetta, Faisalabad and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Operators were told to fix problems with mobile coverage, voice calls and internet within set deadlines.
PTA said a telecom site closure issue in Faisalabad had been resolved.
The authority said it would keep working with operators, other organisations and local administrations on network reliability.
