News Desk

Islamabad:  Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has officially transitioned to a 4G-only mobile broadband network, becoming the first telecom operator in the country to sunset 3G services.

This significant move reallocates all of Jazz’s spectrum resources to 4G, marking a key step in the company’s transformation into a ServiceCo aimed at advancing Pakistan’s digital economy.

Jazz’s 4G customer base has already reached 50 million, and the shift to a fully 4G network is expected to enhance service quality, improve internet speeds, and expand network coverage across Pakistan.

Khalid Shehzad, Chief Technology Officer at Jazz, emphasized that the transition was a carefully planned process over the past year. The shift will improve connectivity, particularly in underserved regions, and foster the growth of Pakistan’s digital ecosystem. Jazz has rolled out initiatives like free SIM upgrades and customer support to ensure a smooth transition to 4G for all users.

The move is also in compliance with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) regulations, setting a precedent in the telecom industry for spectrum reallocation in support of Pakistan’s digital progress. Jazz is committed to expanding its 4G network, with over 15,000 sites nationwide, further driving digital inclusion and connectivity.
