Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL) launched Ufone as its own mobile service provider in 2000.[3] Ufone commenced its operations from Islamabad on January 29, 2001. Pervez Musharraf, then-president of Pakistan, inaugurated the service on that day.[citation needed] Ufone is also known as Pakistan Telecommunications Mobile Ltd (PTML).[4] Rashid Khan was appointed acting CEO of Ufone in August 2017.[5] Following PTCL's privatization, Ufone became a part of Etisalat by e& in 2006.[citation needed]

In 2017, Ufone was the only company in the Pakistani telecommunications market that did not have 4G data services. It launched 4G in August 2019.[3] In 2019, PTCL and Ufone were merging a number of their departments.[6] Rashid Khan, president and CEO of both Ufone and PTCL, died in December 2020.[7]

In 2021, it purchased its own 4G spectrum license for US$279 million.[3] In July 2021, Ufone had around 23 million cellular subscriptions, and had a market share of 12%. It had 10.6 million broadband subscriptions, or 10% of market share in Pakistan.[8] Also in 2021, it was the sponsor of the Ufone 4G Football Cup in Pakistan.[9][10]

In December 2023, Ufone CEO Hatem Bamatraf announced it had agreed to acquire 100% of Telenor Pakistan Ltd.[11] Specifically, Ufone's owner PTCL agreed to acquire Telenor in Pakistan for $500 million. In May 2024, Pakistan's antitrust authority warned against PTCL's proposed takeover of Telenor's business in Pakistan, which would have brought Ufone and Telenor under the same ownership. The authority noted that the combination of Ufone and Telenor would have created a company with more market share than VEON-owned Jazz, which had around 70 million mobile connections.[12] In March 2024, PTCL held a 100% stake in Ufone.
