In an industry-first, PTCL has come forward to the rescue of Pakistanis displaced in war-torn Ukraine and neighboring countries by offering ‘Free International Calling’ from Pakistan.
With this incredibly generous step by the state-owned PTCL, Pakistanis will be able to contact their loved ones in the following countries for free:
- Ukraine
- Poland
- Hungary
- Moldova
- Romania
- Slovakia
The move is consistent with PTCL’s efforts to enable Pakistanis to get in touch with their loved ones who are currently stranded in Ukraine and nearby countries, awaiting assistance from the embassy.
It must be mentioned here that all calls from the PTCL landline to the above-specified countries will be free of charge on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of March 2022.
Furthermore, there is no usage limit, so clients can call as much as they want to the above-mentioned countries on these days.
It should be noted that Pakistan’s mission in several European countries is actively working to rescue Pakistanis who have been displaced as a result of the war in Ukraine. However, given the gravity of the situation and the large number of people who are to be evacuated, the task is daunting and may take some time.
PTCL, in such a crisis, stands with the Pakistanis who are going through tough times, and is making a contribution in easing the lives of their loved ones back home by offering totally free of charge calling.
What about Russia?
Why free calls to Ukraine,
Russia should be given same privilege.
