  • 3G enabled and 4G enabled phones
  • SIM of networks who actually offer 3G (Warid users can switch)
  • Last but not the least, from which city they belong 
Luckily, there’ll be no need of buying new SIMs as these faster technologies will be available on the current SIMs. Now the timeline when 3G & 4G technology must hit your city is already set by PTA in information memorandum for spectrum auction.

As reported in the morning that Warid will not be able to launch its 4G LTE services at least by the end of this year, it has been made clear in a recent meeting between CEO Warid Telecom Muneer Farooqi and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Chairman Dr. Ismail Shah.

During the meeting Warid lead man told the telecom regulator’s head that they have no plans of sabotaging the multi-million dollars investment in the country.
