The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has set up a SIM Information System to deal with users’ security risks. This system will help them keep their information safe. The regulator also wants to ensure that all mobile networks have subscription rules in place.
This initiative is beneficial for the masses because they’ll be able to know how many SIMs are registered on their CNIC number with all mobile operators in Pakistan. If you want to use this service, you can get it online and by text message. Another good thing is that you can check your SIM’s information from anywhere and at any time, even if you aren’t there. It’s also possible to block more unknown SIM cards in time to protect yourself from any liability. Further, you will be able to stop SIM cards that you don’t know. This way, you won’t have to deal with any legal problems. Finally, this service is free.
