Paktel is a mobile telecommunication company in Pakistan.

It was the first ever company granted license to carry out cellular phone services in Pakistan. It carried out AMPS services until 2004,when the company launched GSM services as well. Its main competitor emerged in late 1990s as Instaphone and soon began to dominate the market. However after the launch and rapid success of Mobilink in 1998, both services lost market share. In 2003, Millicom Corporation, owners of Instaphone, bought Paktel as well. In November 2006, Millicom announced that it has decided to exit the Pakistan market. It has already sold Instaphone to a local telecom company and is looking for buyers for Paktel.
