This year in June, famous cellular service provider company of Pakistan, Zong (CM Pak), filed a petition, requesting for removal of Supreme Court’s restriction of 5 SIMs per CNIC and asked for allowance of any number of Data SIMs per CNIC.
And up the latest, Supreme Court have given the decision in CM Pak’s favor and have allowed five voice SIMs and three Data SIMs per CNIC.
The decision which came out on Thursday allows max 5 voice SIMs and 3 Data SIMs per CNIC.
Not to forget that, the decision of limit of 5 SIMs was confined back in 2012. The need of this implementation came in view as at that time customers use to have many SIMs and there wasn’t any proper system of verification of SIMs. On the other hand, it was also believed that these anonymous SIMs were being used by the terrorist to spread terrorism around the country.
However, now the proper system of sale of SIM is imposed as it requires bio-metric verification of the customers before giving them the SIM.
It should be known that all of the five mobile phones companies and Chairman PTA also upheld their perspective in favor of Zong(CM Pak).
