Pakistan Telecom Mobile Limited (PTML), the company operating Ufone, has challenged the PTA’s order to suspend the commercial operations of its digital telecom brand, ONIC.
📌 What’s happening?
• PTA ordered a halt to new ONIC sales, activations, SIM/eSIM issuance and marketing.
• The regulator says ONIC’s operating model requires separate authorisation under the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) framework.
• PTML argues that ONIC is its digital brand operating under its existing licence.
• PTA has allowed three months for existing subscribers to be migrated to PTML.
⚖️ The key question: Can ONIC continue under PTML’s existing licence, or does it need separate regulatory approval?
The legal challenge puts ONIC’s future operating model under scrutiny. Existing customers should follow official company updates for any changes to their service.
