KARACHI: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has advised the mobile phone subscribers to visit Customer Service Centers (CSC) of concerned mobile operator to get their SIM data corrected if there is any discrepancy in their antecedents.
PTA has requested subscribers’ cooperation in streamlining of SIMs data to achieve target of 100 percent corrected data.
In this regard, PTA has also directed cellular mobile operators to take all possible measures for the verifications of post and prepaid mobile connections of their subscribers within specified time period through SIM information System 668.
PTA introduced SIM Information System 668 for the verification and correction of mobile SIMs data.
Through this service subscriber can send his CNIC to 668 through SMS and in return he would receive detail of total SIMs against his CNIC alongwith name of the mobile company.
