ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority(PTA) has begun to approve blocking of unverified SIMs by inspecting the Home Location Registers (HLRs) of the Cellular Mobile Operators(CMOs).
The PTA group going by Director General (Enforcement) travelled to CMOs’ offices on Thursday and Friday to approve the impeding of SIMs that could not be re-verified beyond September 2013. During the visit, the PTA checked advancement made by CMOs on recognising and impeding ‘not re-verified’ SIMs. The CMOs assured the PTA to extend their efforts against persona robbery wherein SIMs were activated without the knowledge of CNIC holders.
