To keep the public informed, PTA has launched a campaign urging subscribers to verify and update their SIM data. The authority stresses the importance of this verification to avoid any disruption in service. The blocking process is set to begin on August 16, marking a significant step towards securing Pakistan’s communication network.
PTA has made it clear that the illegal use of SIMs will not be tolerated, as these SIMs are often linked to criminal activities. By blocking unauthorized SIMs, PTA aims to eliminate this threat and maintain the integrity of the telecom sector, contributing to a safer digital environment.
