Jazz messed up 3G/4G auction in AJK and GB that is why they have poor quality services in Mir Pur. They didn't submitted bid for 2100 MHz at all when PTA offered 30 MHz of it for auction. Telenor got 15 MHz of band 1 at base price and 15 MHz went unsold. Zong and Jazz bid for only 1800 MHz and after 18 rounds of bidding Zong won 10 MHz of band 3 and Jazz got nothing. They might have refarmed their some of 2G spectrum there for 4G but that is not enough obviously.
And Bermuda Triangle's mystery is still at number 2nd in the world. First is Zong's approach towards VoLTE and VoWiFi.

Any update zong VOLTE lunch for commercially allover the country.....

This is a general guideline. But as you said, you seem to be doing well with Mobilink.

What speeds do you get on average? Do you have a screenshot which you can share?

i was struggling from past 10+months with all networks. with zong 84dbm but disconnection at peak times tower issue or something else.

indoor wifi setup speed sc attached
( +4~7mb if i test near device )..

Those speeds are alright. Not enough for 4K, but you can run a couple of 1080 streams easily.

Also, remember that cellular works BEST if there's a clear line of sight. if not, then tough luck.

i have a sight on a tower possible for jazz and cut those trees which were in the way of tower sight.

My concern is not much about Speed But the disconnection.
i need few more days to check it .

for speed purpose i will look for ca supported device later

 

[shaheerk]

Disconnection: assuming the tower is not at fault, it'll either be your equipment (that could be faulty), or Mobilink (that are doing something with the tower).

Assuming the tower, itself, is not choked or malfunctioning or throttled.

Got Ufone VoLTE support on my Samsung Galaxy A52S after One Ui 6 update.

How is the call quality and overall network coverage?

How is the call quality and overall network coverage?

Ufone 4G coverage is very bad even in big metro cities like Faisalabad. Even my whole area is not covered under 4G. But coverage will definitely improve all over the country once they will take Telenor 4G towers under their umbrella, because obviously that is why they bought Telenor.
Call quality on Ufone VoLTE is great and no complain at all.

Still nothing on s23

Is it Pakistani PTA approved unit or kit CPID phone?

Is it better than Jazz VoLTE when calling offnet numbers? I am actually looking to convert from Zong so I was wondering if I should give Ufone a go instead of Jazz.

"Don't switch to Ufone until the merger with Telenor is complete. Ufone's 4G coverage is quite unreliable, and you may encounter network issues during the merger."

PTA approved Singapore unit

 

[zafarabbasrizvi]

PTA approved Singapore unit

Only Pakistani units got this update I suppose. But you can wait for another security patch update, they might roll out the support.

 

[EliTuS]

Today I got my number converted to Jazz (from Zong). I have got VoLTE now but no WiFi calling yet. Should I wait for it to activate by itself or should I call and ask Jazz helpline?

It get activated on supported devices within 12-24 hours. In other case you can call help line. Btw which device are you using?

Yeah it got activated by itself couple of hours ago. I am using Samsung A53 5G.

EDIT: BTW does Jazz offer any rollover (left-over resources getting added up) packages like Zong?
