  • Please correct yourself, PTA marked these complaints as resolved without actually doing anything, I made several complaints in the September against PTCL, Ufone, and Telenor but nothing was resolved yet they left remarks for the complaint as resolved.. poor PTA👎🏻

  • I would like to say here is that from Peshawar to Karachi and from Taftan to Kashmir no one has good mobile service.
    PTA are you sleeping?????

  • PTA, like PTCL, is not concerned with quality of service, it just focuses on billing patrons or in this case taxing.
