ISLAMABAD: Mobile phone users who are out of balance and currently present in Murree and Galiyat have been provided free on-net calling facility.

Stranded people can make calls using their own networks even if they do not have any balance, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said in a statement.

On the directions of PTA, cellular mobile operators have extended free calling facility on their own network to users with zero balance, stranded in Galiyat areas.

Users may contact their operators concerned for more info.

The PTA has also directed telecom operators to ensure uninterrupted services to users and keep enough back up arrangements in case of power outages.
