Network Selection Procedure

Automatically

By default, phone sets are configured on automatic network selection. On arrival in Pakistan your phone set will search for available networks and will automatically select a network. Ensure that the selected network is Mobilink, which has a network code of "410 01".

Manually

If you are unable to access Mobilink's network automatically then you can search for the list of available networks by browsing your phone set. Under "Menu", select "Settings", followed by "Phone Settings" and then "Network Selection" or refer to your phone user guide. A list of available networks will appear. Select "410 01" and enjoy superior services provided by Mobilink.

Making Domestic and International Calls while roaming in Pakistan

Domestic Calls

The following scenarios explain how to make domestic calls while using Mobilink's network:

For domestic calls, dial the city code followed by the landline number. E.g. if you want to call a number in Lahore dial 042 (landline number)
For calls to other mobile networks, dial the mobile code followed by the subscriber number. E.g. to call a Zong network user dial 0313 (subscriber number)
For calls to Mobilink subscribers simply dial the mobile number

International Calls

All calls outside Pakistan will be treated as international calls including calls made to your home country.

For international calls, dial the International Access Code, followed by the Country Code, City Code or Mobile Code (minus the leading zero) before calling a landline or mobile number of any other country, e.g. to call a landline number in Santa Clara, California, USA, dial +1 408 (phone number).
