A monthly bundle is not a luxury in Pakistan — it is protection. PTA’s tariff data (30 September 2026) puts out-of-bundle data at up to Rs 5 per MB on Jazz — about Rs 5,120 for a single GB — against bundle prices that work out to a few rupees per GB. This guide lists the cheapest monthly (30-day) internet packages on Jazz, Zong, Ufone and Telenor, checked on 22 October 2026 against that PTA tariff data and the operators’ own websites (checked 17–19 October 2026).
Two reading rules before the tables. Prices move without notice — PTA itself advises confirming the details on the operator’s site or app before subscribing, and some offers vary by region. And where a price is a load amount versus a printed tax-inclusive price differs by source, the tables below note it where known — compare like with like.
The Short Answer: Cheapest by Need
| Your need | Cheapest honest answer | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Social apps only (WhatsApp) | Zong Monthly WhatsApp — 4 GB WhatsApp only | Rs 250 |
| Light all-round prepaid (calls + data) | Jazz Monthly Bachat — 6 GB + 6 GB social + minutes | Rs 478 |
| Cheapest postpaid plan in Pakistan | Telenor Freedom 500 — 5 GB + minutes | Rs 600/month |
| Heavy general data, prepaid | Ufone Monthly Prime — 100 GB | Rs 2,200 |
Jazz — Cheapest Monthly Bundles
Jazz’s monthly floor is the Monthly Bachat Offer at Rs 478 (price as printed on jazz.com.pk): 6 GB general data + 6 GB for WhatsApp/IMO/Tamasha + 300 Jazz minutes + 50 off-net minutes. For a light user it is the best-value all-rounder on any network this month — real general-purpose data, not just social apps. Above it:
| Package | Price | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Bachat Offer | Rs 478 | 6 GB + 6 GB social (WhatsApp/IMO/Tamasha) |
| YouTube & Social Plus | Rs 1,043 | 20 GB |
| Monthly Video & Social Max | Rs 1,304 | 30 GB |
| Monthly Freedom | Rs 2,608 | 100 GB |
| Monthly X Plus | Rs 2,695 | 200 GB + 5,000 Jazz minutes + 1,500 off-net + mobile insurance |
Jazz has no cheap postpaid: its entry postpaid plan starts around Rs 1,600 (15 GB “Value”) per PTA’s list — the most expensive entry point of the four networks.
Zong — Cheapest Monthly Bundles
Checked against zong.com.pk (17 October 2026). Zong owns the social-only floor of the whole market, and a warning applies to its mid-range: bundles marked with a night window split their data, with only part usable around the clock.
| Package | Price | Data | Subscribe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly WhatsApp | Rs 250 | 4 GB (WhatsApp only) | — |
| Monthly WhatsApp Prime | Rs 300 | 8 GB (WhatsApp only) | *3999# |
| Monthly 5GB | Rs 850 | 5 GB | *5050# |
| Monthly 20GB | Rs 1,250 | 20 GB — only 10 GB anytime; 10 GB is 1 am–9 am | *5051# |
| Monthly Max 40GB | Rs 1,450 | 40 GB — 20 GB night window | *5052# |
| Monthly Super Card (hybrid) | Rs 1,700 | 10 GB + unlimited Zong minutes/SMS (fair-use 5,000 each) + 300 off-net minutes; 30 days | *5501# |
| Monthly Pro (hybrid) | Rs 2,300 | 50 GB + 10,000 Zong minutes + 600 off-net | *7088# |
| Monthly Digital Max Basic | Rs 2,600 | 100 GB + minutes | *7339# |
Read the night splits carefully: “20 GB” that is really 10 GB anytime is worse value than a smaller honest bundle if you never use the internet at 3 am — split bundles are the number one source of package complaints. Note too that some October listings show Zong’s 20GB and Max 40GB priced slightly lower (Rs 1,200 / Rs 1,400) than the zong.com.pk check above — prices are moving even within the month, which is why the app or site on the day you subscribe is the only figure that counts.
Ufone — Cheapest Monthly Bundles
Checked against ufone.com (17 October 2026). A Ufone perk worth knowing: its “on-net” minutes include Ufone, Telenor and PTCL numbers, since the networks sit in the same group.
| Package | Price | Data / includes | Subscribe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Social Prime | Rs 750 | 15 GB social | *6373# |
| Super Internet Plus | Rs 900 (load) | 18 GB — 9 GB anytime + 9 GB 1 am–9 am | *290# |
| Monthly Mega | Rs 1,100 (load) | 30 GB — 15 + 15 night split (about Rs 37/GB — Ufone’s cheapest general data by volume) | *310# |
| Super Card Max | Rs 1,900 | 20 GB + 5,500 on-net minutes + 350 off-net + 5,500 SMS | *629# |
| Super Card Grand | Rs 2,000 | 30 GB + 6,000 on-net + 450 off-net | *899# |
| Monthly Prime | Rs 2,200 | 100 GB | *900# |
| Grand Offer | Rs 2,400 | 200 GB | *9080# |
Telenor — Cheapest Monthly Bundles
Telenor advertises the most aggressive monthly prices of the four networks in October 2026 listings — including a 100 GB offer at a price far below every rival. Treat this table with one extra step: confirm the price in the My Telenor App before loading balance, because Telenor’s monthly list changes often and some offers are targeted or regional.
| Package | Price | Data / includes | Subscribe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4G Monthly Lite | Rs 304 | 24 GB (12 anytime + 12 off-peak) | *301# |
| Mega Monthly Offer | Rs 347 | 100 GB (verify in the app — targeted offers vary) | *29# |
| 4G Monthly Starter | Rs 370 | 8 GB | *302# |
| 4G Monthly Ultra Plus | Rs 1,043 | 50 GB (25 + 25, 1 am–11 am) | *303# |
| Monthly EasyCard | Rs 1,217 | 5 GB + 5,000 on-net minutes + 400 off-net + 2,500 SMS | *80# |
For context, PTA’s own tariff reporting shows Telenor pricing aggressively elsewhere too — a 15-day 130 GB offer at Rs 1,043 appears in the same data — so the direction of Telenor’s pricing is real, even where an individual bundle needs an in-app confirmation.
Cheapest Postpaid in Pakistan (PTA Tariff List, 30 Sep 2026)
If your usage is steady and you dislike reloads, postpaid’s entry prices may surprise you. Per PTA’s tariff list, the cheapest postpaid plan in the country is Telenor Freedom 500 at Rs 600/month: 5 GB, 3,000 Telenor minutes and 150 off-net minutes. The other entry points: Zong Bronze Rs 800 (10 GB), Ufone Prime 1000 Rs 1,000 (20 GB), and Jazz from Rs 1,600 (15 GB). Postpaid line rents in PTA’s list already include government taxes; out-of-bundle use is extra, plus tax — the same trap as prepaid, so the bundles still matter.
Which One Should You Actually Pick? Three Typical Readers
The light user (WhatsApp, calls, occasional browsing): Jazz Monthly Bachat at Rs 478 covers the month honestly — 6 GB of real data, 6 GB for social apps, and minutes included. On Zong, the WhatsApp-only tiers (Rs 250–300) only suit someone who genuinely uses nothing else.
The student (video lectures, social media, some downloads): Look at anytime data, not headline data. Ufone’s Monthly Mega works out near Rs 37 per GB but half arrives at night — fine if lectures download overnight, poor if you stream at noon. Zong’s Monthly 20GB (Rs 1,250) has the same split shape; an honest smaller bundle on any network beats a split bundle you cannot use.
The household or heavy user (hotspot for the family): The 100 GB tier is where prices converge: Jazz Monthly Freedom Rs 2,608, Zong Digital Max Basic Rs 2,600, Ufone Monthly Prime Rs 2,200 — Ufone is the cheapest honest 100 GB this month, with no night split attached to that plan in the checked listing.
Three Traps to Avoid
- Night-window splits. As flagged in the tables: Zong’s 20GB/40GB, Ufone’s Super Internet Plus and Monthly Mega, and Telenor’s Ultra Plus all reserve roughly half their data for roughly 1 am–9/11 am. The headline GB is not the usable GB.
- Auto-renewal. Most monthly bundles renew automatically if balance exists. Manage renewal in your operator’s app, and actually read the confirmation SMS after subscribing — it carries the management codes for that bundle.
- Out-of-bundle burn. When a bundle ends mid-scroll, data continues at standard rates (up to Rs 5/MB on Jazz). Keep balance low, or set up your network’s balance-save protection.

FAQs
Q: What is the cheapest monthly internet package in Pakistan right now?
It depends what “internet” means for you. For WhatsApp only, Zong’s Monthly WhatsApp at Rs 250 (4 GB). For a light all-round prepaid bundle, Jazz Monthly Bachat at Rs 478 gives 6 GB general data plus social data and minutes. For postpaid, Telenor Freedom 500 at Rs 600/month is the cheapest in PTA’s list. Telenor advertises cheaper-looking prepaid headline prices, but confirm them in the My Telenor App before relying on them.
Q: Why is half of my bundle’s data “night only”?
Because the bundle is a split bundle: part of the quota is valid around the clock, the rest only in a late-night window (typically 1 am–9 am). It is printed in the offer terms, not a fault — but it means the effective price of the data you actually use is higher than the headline suggests. The tables above flag every split bundle we listed.
Q: Prepaid bundle or postpaid plan — which is cheaper?
For light users, prepaid wins: Bachat-class bundles start under Rs 500. Postpaid only starts competing if your usage is steady every month and you value not reloading — and even then, Telenor’s Rs 600 Freedom 500 is the exception, not the rule, since Jazz postpaid starts near Rs 1,600. In both worlds, the out-of-bundle rate is the real danger, not the monthly price.
Q: These prices were checked in October 2026. Will they still be right next month?
Maybe not — Pakistani bundle prices and contents change frequently and without announcement, which is exactly why this guide date-stamps its checks (22 October 2026; PTA data of 30 September 2026; operator sites checked 17–19 October 2026). Before subscribing, confirm the live price and contents in your operator’s app. If a price has changed, the app is right and every website — including this one — is history.
