It was a historic day for the Telecom Industry and probably for the people of Pakistan. We can all move forward now in the technology domain and can finally restart the engine that has for years not been operational.The telecom operators that got the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3G</strong> spectrum are <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Zong, Mobilink, Ufone and Telenor</strong>, while <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Zong</strong> is the only company that occupied <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4G</strong> spectrum.</div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Now as the auctioning process is finally over customers of these respective operators are waiting for the commercial launch of 3G and 4G services. According to sources the operators will be able to provide these services in 2 to 3 weeks time. While we wait for the commercial launch of these services the operators are also providing their customers free trail of 3G. <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telenor </strong>which has occupied 3G spectrum has publicly announced that its customers can use and try 3G services for free in selected area’s of Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. If you are a<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telenor </strong>customer<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </strong>and reside in one of these cities than you can check if you are in 3G coverage by dialing “*7799#” from your <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telenor</strong> Sim and can enjoy 3G services for free (Remember this is a limited time offer till 3G is deployed publicly).</div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://phoneworld.com.pk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/10258218_10203769858197377_979107379947618396_n.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; color: #007031; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="10258218_10203769858197377_979107379947618396_n" class="aligncenter  wp-image-23189" height="538" src="http://phoneworld.com.pk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/10258218_10203769858197377_979107379947618396_n.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; display: block; margin: 2px auto !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="314" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Moving on the 3G and 4G packages, till now telecom operators are just advertising their 3G and 4G technologies whereas none of them have announced the 3G and 4G packages. As the operators have purchased the 3G and 4G spectrum in Million of Dollars it is expected that the operators will try to get most of the 3G technology financially. Our neighboring countries are also using 3G services and the prices there are also expensive. For 3G, lets take an example of India the price for 1GB  data is Indian Rs. 250 (PKR 405), for 2GB Indian Rs. 450 (PKR 730) and for 5 GB Indian Rs. 750 (PKR 1220).</div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally, let’s estimate the price on which 3G can be offered in Pakistan. It should be kept in mind that the competition in quite very high in telecom sector because 4 operators will be competing each other to attract users to use their respective services by keeping the prices as low as possible.</div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://phoneworld.com.pk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/rates.bmp" style="background-color: transparent; color: #007031; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="rates" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23190" src="http://phoneworld.com.pk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/rates.bmp" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; display: block; margin: 2px auto !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The table above compares the average 3G package prices in the neighboring countries and the expected 3G prices in Pakistan. It should be noted that these are assumed 3G package prices in Pakistan and till now no operator has updated regarding 3G/4G packages or their prices.</div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: #fefefe; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div>

In Multan too, we have heard.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">One more thing, at least two operators are allowing its customers to experience 3G services. Meaning that you can just join their 3G networks and start using 3G services.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Here’s a simple way to check if 3G services are available at your location or not:</div><h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Monda, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">3G Ready Phones</h4><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">First of all, to use 3G service, you need to have a compatible 3G handset. No, not all handsets are 3G ready.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">You can check compatibility of your handset with 3G networks by simply checking the network specification of your respective handset on GSM Arena or any other similar website.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Let’s take Huawei G610 as an example.

During this, you can switch to their 3G network and start using the service even before the commercial launch.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">P.S.
