Overview
- Prices may change only once per quarter under the Mobile Tariff Regulations, 2025, with total annual increases limited to 10–20% versus prior-year rates.
- PTA has issued a formal letter directing operators to enforce the quarterly schedule and the new caps.
- Operators designated with Significant Market Power must obtain prior PTA approval for any new or revised tariffs, and other operators remain subject to intervention if changes are found harmful to consumers.
- Mobile operators must secure explicit prior consent before activating any value‑added services, and PTA urged subscribers to manage active services through official apps.
- PTA ties the tighter pricing framework to sector stability as it readies a March 2026 spectrum auction, signaling expectations for stronger networks, faster speeds, and improving ARPU with 5G rollout.
