Does that mean Zong can now perform well in low coverage areas provided the 900mhz frequency is available there?
Currently I am getting 4G+ with 2 carrier aggregation 1800 + 2100 so I asked Zong to give us 1800+900 instead of 1800+2100 for better coverage but the person I was talking to on the call Wasn't aware of this 4G+ thing, so I spoke to the supervisor but he didn't know about it either.

Your city and device name?

That's... not how aggregation works. The phone picks up all available signals and performs accordingly. What you can do is restrict the phone from receiving specific bands (through rooting, but not sure if Tensor/Exynos supports this).

My friend who lives in Lahore told me that Jazz is giving him 4G+ with 1800+900. now he is using Jazz 4G even in the room where he was able to get only 2G signal.
Zong's indoor coverage is weak on my side too, my mobile network keeps switching from 2G to 4G most of the time.

Thing with radiowaves is that they're tricky. The frequency tells you how well they can penetrate structures. The technology type is different than the frequency (and accordingly, the numeric readings on the phone will be different).

It's possible your friend already had a good 900Mhz and a very weak (but usable) 1800Mhz signal. CA helps boost both weak and strong signals (and that's the benefit). With Zong, if they don't have a frequency broadcasting in your house, then you're out of luck. The switching between 2G and 4G is a byproduct of fluctuating signal strengths (that's just how radiowaves work).

Yes you are right, VoWifi will help me in case of Zong's weak indoor coverage but Zong is not providing VoLTE and VoWifi.

So I transferred my Ufone number to ONIC and it took 2 minutes to finish the transfer. The sim card was active. I am definitely getting better speeds than UFONE for sure.
I did same. But now I can not receive sms from any number on my onic converted sim and cannot even register Whatsapp (both by sms or call option). Tried complaining to their customer support and it's useless.

I'm not understanding why they are not giving 3‎‎CC (carrier aggregation) in each region if they have successfully tested it.

Because it depends on number of 3G and 2G users. Places where there are still many 2G and 3G users they cannot allocate maximum frequency to 4G. They have to provide some frequency to 2G and 3G users.
And spectrum refarming always happens in phases everywhere. Soon it will be available everywhere
