Pakistan's mobile subscriber base crossed the 200m mark by the end of 2025, with rapid growth in 4G users pushing next generation mobile penetration above 60%, according to fresh data from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. Official figures show that total cellular subscriptions reached 200.55m in December 2025, up from 196.584m in November. The increase of nearly 4m users in a single month underscores expanding demand for mobile connectivity. Third and fourth generation (3G and 4G) subscribers also rose significantly, climbing from 148.197m in November to 150.588m in December. The addition of over 2.39m users lifted next generation mobile service (NGMS) penetration from 59.46% to 60.32%. Teledensity-measuring mobile connections per 100 people-advanced from 79% to 80% during the month. On a more detailed basis, overall teledensity increased from 79.94% to 81.33%, reflecting broader digital access nationwide. Among operators, Jazz expanded its 4G base from 55m to 55.52m subscribers by December's end . Zong's 4G users rose from 41.560m to 42.35m, though its 3G segment contracted slightly. Telenor Pakistan registered growth in 4G subscriptions, which increased from 26.92m to 27.42m, accompanied by a reduction in 3G users. Ufone similarly reported a rise in 4G customers from 19.082m to 19.708m while its 3G base declined over the same period. The latest statistics point to sustained expansion in Pakistan's telecommunications sector, with consumers steadily migrating toward 4G services and next generation mobile connectivity as overall mobile subscriptions continue to grow.
