Telenor is owned by Telenor Group, international service provider who is providing services in 11 different countries. It started its operation in Pakistan in March, 2005 and till December 2011 it has customer base of 28.11 million people with 24% market share.

For this purpose, they issued pre-paid and post-paid SIMs with different calls and SMS packages for different users. They focused on catering the needs of every group by providing efficient services. In order to increase market share, they consistently emphasized on delivering prompt and state of the art services to its customers.

No I Don't Think That Telenor Will Be Successful Due To Its Better Services As Compare To Other Companies
I Have Following Reason
1-Due To High Call Rates
2-Due To High SMS Packages Rates
3- No Concept Of Credit Notification After Any Call Or SMS
4-At My Area There Is No 3G Service Due To Week Signals
5- Not friendly user and not easy to understand about its services against all packages
ya also said its not useful beacuse in rural area they have weak signals
the signal is uesful in different countries her signal is not compatible for pakistan
