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, Milicom Corporation, owners of Instaphone, bought Paktel as well. In late October 2005, Milicom was discussing selling Instaphone to a Pakistani Telecommunications firm, while retaining Paktel.
