Islamabad, October 16th, 2026 - The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued guidance to help mobile users enhance their calling and internet experiences. Users are advised to activate their 4G/LTE and VoLTE settings on their devices. The telecom regulator recommends enabling features such as Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE), Wi-Fi Calling, and VoWiFi to improve voice quality and internet speed.
These features rely on the compatibility of both the phone and the mobile network operator. Additionally, for users in areas with weak signal reception, Wi-Fi Calling and VoWiFi can be beneficial. Users must ensure that their devices and SIM cards support 4G services and enable the Wi-Fi Calling option in their phone settings. The PTA also recommends that older SIM cards be upgraded to support 4G and VoLTE technologies.
The 4G/LTE standard, the fourth-generation mobile network technology, provides faster mobile internet speeds compared to 3G.
