ISLAMABAD: The PTA on Wednesday urged the telecom users to ensure the registration of their SIM against user’s name as registration of SIM against another individual is a violation of applicable procedures.
PTA clarified that the registered user shall remain solely responsible for any use or misuse of SIM. Responsible SIM ownership is essential for safeguarding national security and maintaining the integrity of Pakistan’s telecommunications networks. To enhance transparency and consumer awareness, PTA encourages users to verify the status of SIMs registered against their CNIC by visiting cnic.sims.pk or by sending their CNIC number (without dashes) via SMS to 668 (charges may apply).
Consumers are advised to ensure that only required and actively used SIMs remain against their name.
In cases of SIMs issued without the consumer’s knowledge or consent, relevant service provider may be approached immediately.
PTA reaffirms its commitment to promoting responsible SIM usage and ensuring secure, reliable, and uninterrupted telecom services nationwide. –Agencies
