  • This company is looting the people of AJK.Its the biggest network of Azad Kashmir as it first launched its service in ajk when the people of ajk had no other option.So the people of ajk got telenor sims.The other few companies like ufone zong and warid did not pay heed to Ajk and later they strieved to get the space but they were too late to get the space in ajk market.
    Unfartunately this company is now misusing this trust of the people of ajk.Telenor is providing very poor service in ajk.There is always a network problem over here in ajk.They even providing 2G network in the name of 4G network.While crossing the bouandary of ajk and entring into Pakistan the network service gets magically very good.There is huge no of complaints against telenor poor network from all over ajk but in vain.There is no one to listen and solve the problem.Even the the chamber of commerce of Azad Kashmir wrote many times to the CEO telenor but no action taken.We now want this company completely banned in ajk.We are also initiating compaign and persuading our people of ajk to abandon this network in all ajk terrtories very soon.
