Paktel (Urdu: پاکٹل) was the pioneer cellular operator of Pakistan. It was the trend setter company granted license to carry out cellular phone services in Pakistan, set up by Cable & Wireless. It carried out AMPS services until 2004 when the company switched to GSM technology.
Paktel offered only mobile telephony service to its 2 million subscriber base. As of 2007, Paktel was ranked fifth mobile player of Pakistani market owing to low subscriber base and market share.[2] After the completion of its acquisition by China Mobile, Paktel was rebranded Zong Pakistan on April 1, 2008.
