Ufone now announced to have made Nano SIMs available in Pakistan, in real, to cater the needs of iPhone 5 enthusiasts.

In a statement issued today, Ufone said that it has become the only operator to launch the Nano SIM yet. Unlike the micro SIM which was used for the iPhone 4 and 4s the iPhone 5 works on a special sized Nano SIM which cannot be adapted from a regular SIM.

Ufone Nano SIM’s will be available in selected customer service centers in Islamabad, Lahore & Karachi. Ufone said that Nano SIMs will be sold at the price of regular SIMs, i.e. Rs. 100 per Nano SIM.

The specification of the Nano SIM is quite different. Not only is it smaller, it’s 12 percent thinner from 0.76 mm to 0.67 mm. iPhone lovers in Pakistan are already anticipating the arrival of the new product from Apple and Ufone is determined to cater to every need of its valued customers.

Akbar Khan, Chief Marketing Officer said,”Ufone takes pride in introducing the latest and most unique value added services and the new SIM adaptation is the right move for the company’s growth strategy,” adding, “iPhone 5 will give a clear advantage to Ufone customers as they will be the privileged ones in Pakistan to enjoy iPhone way ahead of others.”
