Zong Faces Major Country-Wide Disruption

Zong users today faced hour long down time (actually more for some users), throughout the country, we checked with dozens of mobile users from various cities.

Thousands of users stormed Twitter with complaints about the network outage, while the company worked to get back online.

Even when back live, select users continued to face issues as the complete restoration from complete halt of an entire network takes time.

Zong spokesperson, while confirming the problems, said that an unexpected commercial power outage was to blame for the network issues. 

“Zong network services were temporarily down in some areas. Power issue has been resolved and services have been restored. Inconvenience is regretted”, he said in statement shared with media.

This is one of its kind outage, and a rare scene in Pakistan’s telecom market. We are awaiting more details on the development to share with our readers.


  • Zong spokesperson, while confirming the problems, said that an unexpected commercial power outage was to blame for the network issues.

  • To the zong spokesperson, bro u need to take time out. Blaming commercial electric failure is no excuse. As a result of commercial electric failure ..ur own ups system and then generator system is to be blamed. Yes failure has occurred . And it is ok. Every intellect person knows u will clear the problem.. but giving wrong explaination is not acceptable .

    • Lol, its not Pakistani. Ufone became a part of the Emirates Telecommunication Corporation Group (Etislat) in 2006.

    • Shame on you jahalat, have you ever compared the expensive and limited packages of Ufone with other networks, if you have enough education then open the Ufone website and also open the Jazz and telenor and zong website just compare the weekly aa in one offer or monthly all in one offer, you wil not find any package at ufone, so shame on your jahalat, shame on expensive ufone which is looting the jahil people like you
