Pakistan Gets 137.7 Million Mobile Phone Users

Today Pakistan Telecommunication Authority reported that cellular users in Pakistan reached 137,683,211 by the end of April 2014, however, there is a confusion in the stats that are being reported by regulator. Keep reading to know the details. On May 2nd 2014, PTA reported that cellular subscribers in Pakistan were 136.47 million till March 31st, 2014. Later on, a week ago or so, PTA updated these stats and reported that subscribers by the end of March 2014 were 135.44 million instead of 136.47 million. When we asked PTA about the difference in number of subscribers that it had corrected, the authority said that there was a rectification required in the stats, which was fixed accordingly. Interestingly, the incorrect figure of 136.47 million (PTA had admitted that figure of 136.47 million was incorrect) is carried in recent stats again.
