New PTA SIM activation system launch from 1 Feb
January 29th, 2009 by The Online Reporter
Chairman PTA Dr. Muhammad Yaseen addressed in a meeting that pre active SIM cards will no more be available after 1st February. CEOs and officers of Warid Telecom, Telenor, Ufone, Mobilink Pakistan were also present in that meeting.
After this notice no cell phone SIM will be activated before complete verification from NADRA, all cell phone users are directed to register their SIMs from their own names because non-confirmed and illegal SIMs will be jammed. Hopefully this step of PTA will reduce the crime ratio in country.

This is for the Telenor Family,
Effective 1st of Feb 2009 all new prepaid SIMs (which are not First Call Activation till 31st Jan) will be activated once the subscriber dials 789 (from the new SIM purchased) & verifies his CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card). All activations for subscribers who do not have CNICs but carry passports and other documents will be carried out at Telenor Sales & Service Centers.
This is an industry wide step, initiated by PTA & implemented by all telecom operators to ensure subscriber security. Together all cellular operators have already launched an advertising campaign to communicate this important news to the market.
Telenor S&D , CRD and IT and along with many other teams have also made special arrangements to make this new process as smooth as possible for all our new joining customers.
A Telenor specific media campaign will also go on-air on the subject from 1st Feb.
Kindly feel free to share this very important development with all your teams and business partners.
comment here further queries.
