When mobile phones, and services, were introduced in Pakistan, you had to call every time you wanted to change a subscription. Thankfully, things have changed.
As it’s now possible to subscribe to new services and bundles simply by sending an SMS shortcode, we’ve tried to compile a list of all the main bundles, and basic services, you would want to gain access to.

Before the comments section explodes, yes, we’re missing a lot of data here. To collect this information, I looked through the telecom operator website, then called their support center to confirm the shortcodes. Unfortunately, this second step was almost impossible in some cases, which is why there is a difference in amounts of information available about each operator.
If you see shortcodes we’ve missed, leave the shortcode/number, service name and telecom provider info in the comments and I’ll confirm and it will be added.
