WorldCALL is a telecommunication operator in Pakistan. It was established in 1996 by First Capital Securities Corporation .
In 1996 First Capital Securities Corporation began to incubate a payphone operation called Worldcall Payphones Limited. The new venture stood at the front end of a communication revolution that was yet to grip the country. Our perception of a changing business environment placed Worldcall at the lead of a demand-led explosion of payphones all over the country. We installed our first payphone in June 1996. Today Worldcall has over 70,000 payphones all over the country. We are one of the largest fixed line payphone operator and the pioneers of “Supervised Payphones” business model in Pakistan. With the expansion in telecom we have continued to innovate. Over the years we have invested in new technologies and businesses. In 1998 prepaid calling cards were launched by Worldcall Phonecards under the brand name "Hello". In the following year the group established dial-up internet services through Worldcall Dot Com.

In 1999 Worldcall Telecom Lanka established the Groups' first overseas presence when payphone operations were established in Sri Lanka. In 2000 Worldcall Multimedia established a Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) scalable network in Lahore thus becoming the first Multi-service operator in the country, providing cable television and Internet-over-cable. In cable TV in Lahore, Worldcall was the last entrant and by far the largest. In 2003 we launched a state of the art HFC network operation in Karachi under Worldcall Broadband Limited. These are the largest and only national networks capable of triple play (cable TV, high speed internet/data and telephony). These companies are also offering metro fiber lease to a number of other telecom / cellular operators as well as corporates.
Worldcall Telecom Limited acquired Wireless Local Loop (WLL) licenses/spectrum in the post deregulation auction to provide WLL telephony in all 14 telecom regions of Pakistan primarily in the 1900 MHz band. It has partnered with Samsung for a CDMA 2000 1x solution (with EVDO option). WTL started service from Lahore in June 2005 which is now available in over 40 cities. WTL also acquired an LDI license and service commenced at the end of 2004. WTL enjoys significant edge over competition due to rights to dark fibers in a national long haul network which is being built across Pakistan
