Cheapest Postpaid Package in Pakistan 2026: All Networks Compared

Quick answer: The cheapest postpaid package in Pakistan is Telenor Freedom 500 at Rs. 600 a month, with 5 GB of data, 3,000 Telenor minutes and 150 minutes to other networks. Zong Bronze at Rs. 800 is the better buy for most people, because it gives twice the data at 10 GB and 300 off-net minutes for Rs. 200 more. For heavy users, Ufone Prime Mega at Rs. 1,700 gives 200 GB, the most data for the money at about Rs. 8.50 per GB. These are PTA’s figures, updated on 30 September 2026.

Postpaid means a fixed monthly bill instead of recharging bundles. Line rent is the fixed monthly charge, and PTA’s file says it already includes all government taxes. Anything beyond the plan is charged extra, plus tax. This guide compares every standard postpaid plan from Jazz, Telenor, Zong and Ufone on price, data, deposit and rupees per GB.

Cheapest postpaid package in Pakistan by network

The table below lists the cheapest plan from each operator. Telenor has the cheapest entry plan and Jazz the most expensive, at almost three times the Telenor price.

The cheap plans are not equal. Freedom 500 gives 5 GB and only 150 off-net minutes. Bronze gives twice the data at 10 GB and 300 off-net minutes, the better buy for Rs. 200 more if you call other networks. Prime 1000 gives the most data of any entry plan at 20 GB for Rs. 1,000.

Which plan gives the most data for the money

We divided each plan’s line rent by its free data to get a rupees per GB figure. Minutes and SMS also have value, but it shows the gap clearly for internet users.

Ufone Prime Mega is the winner. It gives 200 GB, 10,000 Ufone minutes and 2,000 off-net minutes for Rs. 1,700. Zong Platinum is next at 200 GB for Rs. 2,000. Jazz is the most expensive at every size: its 200 GB plan costs Rs. 3,500, double the Ufone price for the same data. One Ufone plan looks odd. Prime 2400 costs Rs. 2,400 for 80 GB, while Prime Mega costs Rs. 1,700 for 200 GB. Unless you need Prime 2400’s extra SMS, Prime Mega is the plain winner. See the full Ufone postpaid packages guide for the whole Prime range.

What each network offers

Telenor has the cheapest entry plan but a mixed range. Freedom 500 at Rs. 600 gives 5 GB, and Freedom Gold at Rs. 1,000 gives 30 GB, which is good value. Freedom Gold Plus at Rs. 1,600 gives 100 GB. The older Smart range is poor value: Smart 300 costs Rs. 618 for 1 GB, and Smart 3000 costs Rs. 4,741 for 10 GB. If a shop offers you a Smart plan, ask for Freedom instead. Telenor figures here are PTA’s only, so confirm the line rent at the franchise.

Zong has the most even range: Bronze at Rs. 800, Silver at Rs. 1,000 for 15 GB, Gold at Rs. 1,300 for 20 GB, Diamond at Rs. 1,500 for 50 GB, Platinum at Rs. 2,000 for 200 GB and Titanium at Rs. 4,000 for 400 GB. Diamond is the value sweet spot, with 50 GB and 1,000 off-net minutes for Rs. 200 more than Gold.

Ufone has the best heavy plan and a confusing range. Prime Mega at Rs. 1,700 for 200 GB is the best per-GB rate in Pakistan. Prime 1000 at Rs. 1,000 gives 20 GB, and Prime 1600 at Rs. 1,600 gives 100 GB. Prime 2400 at Rs. 2,400 for 80 GB is poor value.

Jazz has five postpaid plans: 15 GB for Rs. 1,600, 30 GB for Rs. 2,000, 50 GB for Rs. 2,500, 100 GB for Rs. 3,000 and 200 GB for Rs. 3,500. The two biggest plans add 50 or 100 international minutes. Jazz costs more than Zong and Ufone for the same amount of data at every size. Its strength is elsewhere: PTA’s city survey for April to June 2026 found Jazz fastest in 9 of 11 cities. See the full Jazz postpaid plans guide for the complete PostPay price list.

Security deposits and overage charges

Every postpaid plan needs a refundable security deposit. PTA’s list shows a deposit of Rs. 1,000 for Zong Bronze and up to Rs. 6,500 for Telenor Smart 3000. To use international roaming, Telenor, Zong and Ufone list a Rs. 15,000 deposit, while Jazz lists Rs. 5,000. PTA’s file shows a Rs. 1,700 deposit for Jazz’s cheapest plan, but Jazz’s FAQ says the minimum refundable deposit is Rs. 1,100 and can vary by plan.

Data beyond your plan is charged per MB: Rs. 2 plus tax on Jazz, Rs. 1 plus tax on Zong, Rs. 1.20 plus tax on Telenor’s Freedom plans and Rs. 3 plus tax on Ufone. Ufone’s overage rate is the highest, so pick a plan with enough data.

Postpaid vs prepaid for heavy users

Postpaid is cheaper than prepaid for heavy users on Zong and Ufone. For 200 GB a month, Zong postpaid Platinum is Rs. 2,000, while Zong’s prepaid Monthly Pro Max Basic costs Rs. 2,700 to load. On Ufone, postpaid Prime Mega is Rs. 1,700 for 200 GB, while the prepaid Grand Offer costs Rs. 2,400 for the same data. On Jazz the reverse is true: prepaid Monthly X is cheaper than the Rs. 3,500 postpaid plan, so Jazz users should stay on prepaid.

One warning about the prepaid figures. PTA’s prepaid list shows Jazz, Telenor and Ufone prepaid prices before the 15 percent withholding tax that is taken on every recharge, while Zong’s prepaid prices are the full load price. Jazz Monthly X is listed at Rs. 2,695, which comes to about Rs. 3,100 once that tax is added.

How to get a postpaid connection

Take your original CNIC to the operator’s own service centre or franchise. You will give your fingerprints for biometric verification and pay a refundable security deposit. Pick a plan from the tables above and note its deposit, then ask for the plan by name at the counter and check the line rent on your first bill. You can keep your number by converting an existing prepaid SIM, or port in from another network.

Honest verdict

Telenor Freedom 500 at Rs. 600 is the cheapest postpaid package in Pakistan, but its 5 GB and 150 off-net minutes are thin. Zong Bronze at Rs. 800 is the better cheap plan, with twice the data and twice the off-net minutes. If you use more than 100 GB a month, Ufone Prime Mega at Rs. 1,700 is the best value in the country at Rs. 8.50 per GB. Zong Platinum at Rs. 2,000 is the next best heavy plan. Jazz only makes sense if you value its network speed over price. Confirm the deposit and line rent at the franchise before you sign up.
