STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: In Pakistan, in just six months the international traffic of cellular calls has reached 3.4 billion, reveals a fresh data released by the Pakistan telecommunication authority (PTA).
It said that in April last, the duration of international traffic of cellular calls was 2.8 billion and in this year it has increased by 22 per cent. In future this will increase and all this happens because of the advancement in the technology and by low cost international tariffs.
About the SMS services, during Jul-Dec 2010-11, about 100 billion SMSs were recorded while there were 86 billion SMSs during the previous two quarters showing a 16 per cent increase in the SMS traffic.
According to the data, Ufone is the leading cellular operator that has the largest figure of SMS, Telenor and Mobilink are on second and third number respectively. Warid and Zong are having low traffic of SMS as compared to others.
Experts say that this is all due to the different SMS packages that include daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly unlimited packages. Anyone can afford these and can avail these SMS packages. In coming future we are expecting the 3G and 4G services in Pakistan that will give new dimensions to the communication process.
