Ufone SMS Packages — Daily, Weekly & Monthly Plans

Quick Answer

Ufone's best SMS package is the Monthly SMS Bucket — Rs. 60 for 4,000 SMS to all networks for 30 days. Activate by dialing *270# and choosing the monthly option.

Ufone SMS Package Options for 2026

Ufone wins on SMS pricing. At Rs. 60 for 4,000 monthly messages, they're the cheapest per-SMS option among Pakistan's major carriers. The package lineup is no-frills — four tiers, all covering messages to every Pakistani network, all activated through the same *270# menu.

Package	SMS Count	Network	Price	Validity	Code
Daily SMS Bucket	200 SMS	All networks	Rs. 4.50	1 Day	*270#
Weekly SMS Bucket	1,000 SMS	All networks	Rs. 20	7 Days	*270#
Monthly SMS Bucket	4,000 SMS	All networks	Rs. 60	30 Days	*270#
Monthly SMS Max	10,000 SMS	All networks	Rs. 110	30 Days	*270#

Prices above exclude ~30% tax. Confirm at ufone.com.

Activating Ufone SMS Bundles

Dial *270#, pick your preferred duration from the USSD menu, and confirm. Like all Ufone USSD interactions, the menu might take a few seconds to load — patience required. Check your remaining SMS count via *706#.

Is the Monthly SMS Bucket Worth It?

At Rs. 0.015 per message, the Monthly SMS Bucket is almost free compared to Ufone's base SMS rate. Even if you only send 50 texts a month, the Rs. 60 cost is less than what 25 individual texts would cost at base rates. For anyone who sends more than a handful of texts monthly, this package pays for itself immediately.

The Monthly SMS Max at Rs. 110 for 10,000 SMS exists for people who use text messages as a primary communication channel — maybe running a small shop, coordinating deliveries, or managing a team that isn't on WhatsApp. For the average smartphone user, 4,000 is more than enough.

Many Ufone call packages already include SMS. Check Ufone call packages — the Super Card Plus includes 1,200 SMS, which might eliminate the need for a separate SMS package entirely.

Things to Remember About Ufone SMS

All-network coverage. Unlike some competitors' older plans, all Ufone SMS packages cover every Pakistani mobile network. No on-net/off-net distinction for texting.
No international SMS. Domestic only. International texts are charged separately at premium rates.
MMS is separate. Sending pictures or multimedia via MMS costs extra and isn't covered by any SMS package. Use WhatsApp or email for file sharing.
Premium SMS traps. Short code messages (contest entries, subscription services, etc.) bypass your package and deduct directly from balance. Avoid replying to promotional SMS from unknown short codes.

Who Actually Needs an Ufone SMS Package in 2026?

If you use your phone for any kind of transactional activity — banking, mobile wallets, government portal verifications — you need an SMS package. It's not about chatting over text. It's about the dozens of OTPs, confirmations, and notification messages that Pakistani services send exclusively through SMS.

Here's a typical day for someone who thinks they "don't text": one JazzCash transaction confirmation, one Easypaisa OTP for a bill payment, one bank login verification, one NADRA token tracking request, one delivery status check. That's five SMS right there, and most people do more. At Ufone's base rate of approximately Rs. 2.00 per message, those five texts cost Rs. 10 per day — Rs. 300 per month. The monthly package at Rs. 60 saves you Rs. 240 monthly. The math is straightforward.

Students are another group that benefits disproportionately. University group coordination, exam schedule confirmations, merit list check messages, and scholarship status queries all happen over SMS when internet access is spotty on campus. With 4,000 messages for Rs. 60, a student can text freely all month without thinking about it.

Ufone SMS Pricing Compared to Other Networks

Ufone is the cheapest SMS option in Pakistan — but not by as much as people think. The monthly comparison:

Ufone: Rs. 60 for 4,000 SMS (Rs. 0.015/message)
Telenor: Rs. 70 for 5,000 SMS (Rs. 0.014/message)
Jazz: Rs. 80 for 6,000 SMS (Rs. 0.013/message)

Ufone has the lowest absolute price, but Jazz actually wins on per-message cost because of the higher volume. The gaps are tiny — we're talking fractions of a paisa per message. Pick whichever network you're already using for calls and data. Switching carriers to save Rs. 10-20 monthly on SMS makes no practical sense when you factor in the hassle of managing multiple SIMs.

What Ufone genuinely wins on is simplicity. Four SMS packages, one USSD code (*270#), straightforward pricing. No confusing on-net/off-net splits, no social-only restrictions, no hidden conditions. You pay, you get messages to all networks. That simplicity has value when every other aspect of Pakistani telecom feels unnecessarily complicated.

Tips for Getting the Most from Ufone SMS

A few things that experienced Ufone users learn over time:

Check your Ufone combo first. If you're on the Super Card Plus (Rs. 599), you already have 1,200 SMS included. Unless you're sending more than 40 texts per day, a standalone SMS package on top of that is probably wasted money. Dial *706# to check how many combo SMS you still have before subscribing.
Weekly beats daily, monthly beats weekly. This is true for every carrier, but especially Ufone: the daily package at Rs. 4.50/day costs Rs. 135 monthly — more than double the monthly package for the same network coverage. Never subscribe daily if you text regularly.
Block premium SMS services. If you keep getting balance deductions from short codes, call Ufone helpline (333) and ask them to block all premium SMS services on your number. This prevents rogue subscriptions from eating your balance.
Keep SMS as backup communication. Even if WhatsApp is your primary channel, having an SMS package ensures you can reach anyone on any network without internet. In emergencies — natural disasters, extended outages, travel to remote areas — SMS works when nothing else does.

Ufone SMS — Quick Answers

Is Ufone the cheapest for SMS in Pakistan?

Generally yes. At Rs. 60 for 4,000 SMS monthly (Rs. 0.015 per message), Ufone undercuts Jazz and Telenor on pure SMS pricing. The gap isn't huge — maybe Rs. 10-20 monthly — but it adds up over time.

How many SMS can I send daily with the monthly package?

There's no daily limit within the 4,000 monthly SMS allocation. You could send all 4,000 on the first day if needed. Once the total is exhausted, you'll need to subscribe again or pay base rates per message.

Do Ufone SMS packages auto-renew?

Monthly packages may auto-renew if you have sufficient balance. To manage or cancel auto-renewal, dial *270# and check the unsubscribe option in the USSD menu.

Can I send SMS to PTCL landlines?

No. SMS works only between mobile numbers. You cannot send text messages to any landline number, including PTCL. SMS is a mobile-to-mobile service only.
