Pakistan Telecommunication Authority suspends expired CNIC-linked SIMs to combat illegal use.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) is suspending mobile phone SIMs linked to expired Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs) that expired before 2017. This is part of a campaign to combat illegal SIM use, following the blocking of over 69,000 illegal SIMs in the first phase. Users are urged to renew their CNICs to avoid suspension. Future phases will target SIMs registered under deceased individuals.
