Troubleshooting

How to fix Zong not working

When Zong itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:

Your browser tries to reach zong.com.pk over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Reload and restart

    Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

  2. Try another connection

    Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Zong.

  3. Update the app

    Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While Zong is down: what to use instead

  • Phone dialer and SMS If the app will not open, make calls and send texts from your phone's built-in dialer and messaging app, which do not depend on the app loading.
  • Another network SIM Keep a second SIM from a different network for calls and mobile data when the service has no signal or data will not connect.
  • Wi-Fi Switch your phone to a Wi-Fi network for internet access while mobile data is down, then use web versions of the apps you need.
  • Retailer top-up Ask a mobile shop to top up your balance when the app or in-app payment fails.
Same time

Problems at the same time as Zong

Since 28 October, all 2 of Zong's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

How we track Zong

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Zong, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Zong, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Zong doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
