In our country lots of times we come across the poor technical or customer support by the Cell Phone operators, Land line operator like PTCL or Internet Service Providers. At times you continuously keep getting the low quality services other than what you have expected from a service providers and complaining many times to their customer support numbers you don’t get any good response.
Well in past we had very much less choices and we always had to rely upon the customer support service of the telecom operators. But now things are lot much different, now we have the proper check and balance mechanism, if you can not getting the full value from the services you acquire, you can complain about it with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority(PTA).
PTA gets thousands of complains every week, they respond to all of them and make sure the person complaining gets the satisfactory services after the complain is processed and closed. You can register the complains online using their complain forms as well as they offer some phone numbers which can be called in order to get your complaints registered.
To get your complaint registered online use this complaint form or you can call on +92-51-9221444 or fax on +92-51-2878139. These numbers are of headquarters, you can also get the zonal numbers if required from PTA website, otherwise these must be enough to get your complains registered against any organization related to Telecom.
Update:
PTA toll free complaint number for all over Pakistan is 0800-55055, you 
can complain about any thing related on this number. Also you can make use of following email addresses and numbers of PTA.
PTA Headquarters: complaint@pta.gov.pk (Tel: +92-51-9225325)
Rawalpindi: rawalpindi@pta.gov.pk (Tel: +92-51-5766402)
Lahore: ptalahore@pta.gov.pk (Tel: +92-42-6665022)
Karachi: karachi@pta.gov.pk (Tel: +92-21-5680101)
Peshawar: peshawar@pta.gov.pk (Tel: +92-91-9217279)
Quetta: quetta@pta.gov.pk (Tel: +92-81-2829476)
For contact information about more zonal offices you can visit pta.gov.pk. However for you complain you normally don’t have to dig down to zonal office contact info, complaining to headquarter email address or phone number also works equally well. If you have got any piece of info in this regard which can be helpful for others, feel free to share via comments.

Well you will have to yourself complain to PTA, here is the proper procedure for this: http://www.infopakistan.pk/2010/03/how-to-report-a-stolen-cell-phone-in-pakistan/
I have tried to fill the form, and also followed the link given in the last paragraph above;
but there service provider name is not available in the form, hence I am unable to submit the form.
I need to submit complaint against PTCL poor Customer Services.
Please view the post above, I have updated it with some latest contact information, this information contains PTA email addresses and telephone numbers of headquarters and zonal offices, make use of any of that information.
I personally had such problems with PTCL and complaining to PTA actually works very well. You can send you complain on their headquarters or your related zonal office email address and you will get a very quick response. They ask immediately from PTCL or any such related company and problem gets fixed in next few days for sure.

I am a user of Mobilink using Phone No.0302-8566335 since 2007 as postpaid costumer through Bank Al-Falah Credit Card No. [Removed]. I visited Mobilink Costumer Centre Rasheed Plaza Blue Area, Islamabad to chnage my billing for direct billing instead of credit card in September-2009. Dues for change of service i.e. 2000/- were also deposited at that time.
But sicne then my service has never been changed by JAZZ Indigo even no reply has so far been received till date.
PTA is requested to take action against responsible authorities and solve my problem.

Hi K. Shehzad, aap ne buhat achi post ki hai ye.
brother plz mujhe guide krein, main is link k complaint form
http://www.pta.gov.pk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1590&Itemid=770
ko fill krne ki koshish kr raha hon pr “operator reference number” ata hai, wahan konsa number dena hai.?
aur main aap k die hoe is link se
http://www.pta.gov.pk/index.php?option=com_complaint&Itemid=485
complain kron to is form main bhi ek masla hai wo ye k jahan “complaint against” ki drop down list hai us main to kisi company ka naam ata hi nahi select, sirf “select” hi likha hota hai,, plz reply main soon, to my email.
@Haroon: thanks bro for appreciation. I will try to keep coming with lots of more topics which are useful for people of Pakistan and/or about Pakistan.
Reference number wo hai jo company complaint number deti hai, e.g. when you complain to the ptcl after registering complain they tell you your complain number is 88 or 67 or anything like that. And you can ask them later mera complain number 67 tha mera phone theek kyon nahi howa, yeh wo number hai.
If you don’t have that complaint number, above the reference number field you have radio buttons asking “Do You Have Operator Reference Number?*” select no, then the reference number field will go away and you will not have to reference number, on that place another field will appear asking you to enter the date when you had registered the complaint.
Yes the select fields are broken on both forms, means its pta’s fault that forms are not correctly working at the moment.
So you can send an email directly at complaint@pta.gov.pk explaining your problem/issue in it along with all information asked via those forms. As forms also send info to this email, so as forms not working, send direct email.
You can also cc that email to your city’s email address of PTA, check above post for getting your city’s email for PTA. If your city not listed in those emails, just sending email to complaint@pta.gov.pk will work fine.
Reply back, for more info and/or to give feedback on how pta responded to your complaint.
even i enter my complaint number (eg:44) in that operator reference number box but they say invalid reference number

You should call PTA, they will at least block that sim. Also never hear to claims like you have won prize. If someone says that via call, just tell them to deliver you the price, never pay a peny for that, not only this, gangs are also having frauds telling others you have won a car, then they tell your address and other info they got someway, and get money like 20-80 thousands to bring car from far places like Karachi and then get away with that money.
In our country money once gone via fraud will never come back.

My complain is against the Manager Mr. Rizwan Manager Upaisa shop, Kohati Gate Branch, Peshawar City. I visited the branch at abouit 12:30 on June 18, 2014 for receipt of easy paisa. The Manager with a rude respond directed me to come after 2 pm. This gentleman was having no sense of my urgency and wastage of time etc. With this kind of trend, the easy paisa system proves useless and of no benefits to the clients. Will some one on the helm of affairs will look for some remedy in this regard.
