For a change all major mobile network operators posted growth, even if it was modest. Mobilink added over 140K, Telenor crossed 20 million mark, Ufone is pretty close to it and Zong made it over 6 million.

Telecom sector has been doing its part to help out with the current humanitarian crisis in Pakistan. If you are abroad, you can contribute online in many ways. I made a contribution via Chipin at Pakistaniat. I recommend you to do the same, it can be any amount, but please do your part.

As another example Ufone employees also gave one day’s pay to help out. Also see this related discussion about helping out via SMS at TGP.
