PTA has implemented new rules aimed at shaking up the mobile phone market. These regulations focus on creating a more balanced and fairer environment for both consumers and cell phone providers.

Consumers can expect more flexibility from providers in setting their own prices, potentially leading to a wider range of plans and potentially lower costs. PTA will remain vigilant to ensure companies aren’t setting unfairly high prices and will intervene to stop hidden fees or misleading practices.

Transparency is a key focus. Companies will be required to clearly explain their pricing structures online and inform customers about roaming charges before traveling abroad. Additionally, automatic renewals of subscriptions will be banned unless customers specifically opt-in, eliminating unexpected charges on phone bills.

These regulations could lead to more competition among cell phone providers, potentially resulting in better deals for consumers. You can expect to see a wider variety of plans to choose from, potentially at lower prices. The new rules will also make it easier to understand your phone bill and avoid any unexpected charges.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
