News Desk

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued guidelines for the public on utilizing ‘Wi-Fi calling’ as a solution to address the ongoing issue of weak mobile signals across the country. This initiative aims to ensure that citizens can maintain their calling capabilities even in areas with poor cellular reception.

In an official statement, the PTA emphasized the importance of Wi-Fi calling, particularly for users experiencing difficulties with traditional mobile networks.

The authority noted that this feature allows users to make calls using their internet connection, thereby bypassing the limitations of mobile signal strength. The PTA’s announcement comes in response to increasing complaints from the public regarding connectivity issues.

The introduction of Wi-Fi calling is expected to significantly enhance communication for many Pakistanis, especially in rural and remote areas where mobile signals are notoriously weak.

This move not only aims to improve individual connectivity but also has broader implications for businesses and emergency services that rely on stable communication channels.

Looking ahead, the PTA plans to conduct further awareness campaigns to educate the public on how to enable and use Wi-Fi calling effectively. Additionally, the authority is expected to collaborate with telecom operators to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place to support this service nationwide.
