HISTORY OF CELLULAR PHONES IN PAKISTAN

In Pakistan cellular phones were introduced in late 1980’s. It was the time when the technological boom was heading the developing countries like Pakistan, India, China etc. Initially it was hard to sell this new technology to the people of Pakistan, who consider it as a luxury more than a necessity. But afterwards through the organized efforts, these companies are able to market their products and services with a great success. And now millions of people are availing the services of four cellular companies throughout the country.

Paktel was among the pioneers in the mobile phone industry in Pakistan.
