We recently changed the MX records of worldcall.net.pk (its almost 24
hours) but its not getting updated in Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4.

In fact both DNS servers are showing different entries.

How much time it takes Google DNS to get updated.

Thanks

You seem to have a name-server listed that isn't working - see the bit in bold

dig: couldn't get address for 'ns6.worldcall.net.pk': not found

I've confirmed this on a non-Google DNS Server as well.

ns3.worldcall.net.pk and ns9.worldcall.net.pk both return results for me.

worldcall.net.pk.       86400   IN      MX      10 mail.worldcall.net.pk.

That's against 8.8.8.8. What should the result's come back as?
