As compensation for this closure, PTCL is offering a 50% discount on Ufone’s 4G Blaze device, bringing the price down from Rs. 5,500 to Rs. 2,750.
However, to avail this offer, you will have to visit a PTCL or
Ufone service center along with your old Charji device and CNIC. You can find a list of all Ufone/PTCL service centers here. But doing a simple Google Maps search would likely be quicker for most.
The Ufonze 4G Blaze device can connect with up to 10 devices at a time and has a 4-hour battery. It comes with a 1-year warranty and requires no complicated installation since it is plug-and-play.
Ufone 4G Blaze Monthly Packages

200 GB (100 GB Valid from 1 AM to 1 PM) Rs. 2,749
