]]> With four telecom companies providing 3G services, most Pakistani subscribers wonder if they are getting the right value for the money. With mobile broadband now available in several parts of the country, we decided to find out which company provides the most data in lowest price for daily, weekly and monthly packages.

The following chart shows rankings based on price, the best data package you can get with the least cost. The package list is updated till 28th April, 2015.

Package Type Ranking Bundle Name Data Bundle Price Activation Code
Daily Package 1) Telenor 3G Unlimited Daytime Bundle 2 GB Rs. 8 Dial:*345*139#
2) Mobilink Daily Light Internet 1 GB Rs. 8 Dial: *114*14#
3) Mobilink 3G Daily3 100 MB Rs. 15 Dial: *117*1#
Weekly Package 1) Telenor 3G Weekly Unlimited 7 GB Rs. 40 Dial: *345*144#
2) Mobilink 3G Weekly 7 GB Rs. 60 Dial: *117*7#
3) Telenor 3G Weekly Bundle 1 GB+500 MB Dailymotion Rs. 75 Dial:*345*134#
Monthly Package 1) Mobilink 3G Monthly – Super4 12 GB Rs. 1000 Dial: *117*32#
2) Ufone Monthly 10GB Bucket 10 GB Rs. 1000 Dial: *5100#
3) Mobilink 3G Monthly – Heavy3 4.5 GB Rs. 400 Dial: *117*30#

 

The ranking is based on price subscriber pays for each gigabyte of data. Telenor and Mobilink rule the chart with higher data packages in lower cost. Telenor covers the most cities and towns in Pakistan with 5 MHz spectrum while Mobilink has 10 MHz spectrum and thus greater download speed. Some packages have restrictions as well, for example Mobilink’s Daily Light Internet (1 GB for Rs. 8) is a daily package but can only be used between 12 am to 8 pm.

There are other varieties as well, such as Zong’s Monthly Premium Plus has 30 GB data limit for Rs. 3500. While the largest data package of all the telecom companies, it is expensive than most broadband companies that provide much larger data cap (albeit at slower speed) in much lower cost. The cost per gigabyte was high, therefor it could not be added to the list.

As mobile broadband service gets more popular, prices are expected to come down and larger data bundles will be made available to subscribers. Until then, the above ranking should be good enough for heavy data usage with the least cost.
