Times to call
When calling your family in Pakistan, it's important to note the 5 hour time difference. For example, if you call at 4pm London time, you'll be reaching Pakistan at 9pm. It's probably best to call in the morning, or early evening.

We may only get 9 here in the UK, but in Pakistan, there are 18 national holidays throughout 2011. Some important dates to note are May 1st (Labour Day), August 14th (Independence Day) and November 9th (Birthday of Muhammad Iqbal).
Interesting Pakistani Phone Facts
While little of the rural population in Pakistan has access to telecommunications services, there are over 7 million registered landines throughout the country.
Mobile Phone Networks in Pakistan include Ufone, Jazz also known as Mobilelink, Telenor Paktel Warid and SCO. Mobilink was ranked the market leader in 2010, with 32.47% market share
Thanks to the growth of pre-pay cards, the mobile industry in Pakistan has grown from 500,000 users in 2000, to almost 100 million users in 2010.
In 2010, reports showed that 40 percent of the people in Pakistan still do not use a mobile phone. However, all Telecom companies are now working to broaden their network to Northern Areas, which have been somewhat ignored up until now.
