| PTA Shortlists 3.5 Million SIMs to be Blocked, if not Verified Posted: 18 May 2011 03:42 AM PDT
PTA Shortlists 3.5 Million SIMs to be Blocked, if not Verified is a post from: ProPakistani Pakistan Telecommunication Authority today announced that it shortlisted a total of 3.5 million SIMs without mentioning the numbers for each operator, that are said to be un-verified. In other means, PTA has identified only 3.5 million SIMs as un-verified, out of total 105 million mobile connections. Moreover, these SIM's won't get permanently blocked, instead they can call 789 to verify their data and get the SIM working again. Phased Blocking of SIMs: PTA said that considering the limited resources available at mobile companies' end, the process of blocking shall be completed in four weeks where same number of mobile connections i.e. 0.875 million shall be blocked on weekly basis thus bringing total no of SIMs to 3.5 million. The mobile connections that failed to approach 789, for re-verification/confirmation of their data, shall be completely blocked at the end of each week. How to unblock a Blocked SIM? PTA has said that during the blocking process a particular SIM/connection shall only be allowed to call 789 for re-verification of user's antecedents. Through 789 system a customer has to approach Call Center of the concerned mobile company by dialing short code 789 and re-register & verify his antecedents through NADRA's database by answering mandatory secret questions i.e. mother's name and place of birth so as to activate his non-active SIM. With a view to further facilitate the mobile users, individual SMS shall again be sent to all left over target mobile connections advising them to approach 789 so as to avoid completely blocking of their SIMs. PTA said that a total of 13.28 million mobile connections approached and re-verified their antecedents through 668 database till 17th May, 2011. It is also important to mention here that for the best interest of consumers', PTA has made the service of 668 free of charge where consumer can know the count of SIMs of each mobile company registered against his CNIC by sending his CNIC number to 668 through SMS. PTA said that the Chairman is personally monitoring the whole exercise. Related posts:

| Deductions on Mobile Recharges by Retailors Should be Stopped Posted: 17 May 2011 10:31 PM PDT
Deductions on Mobile Recharges by Retailors Should be Stopped is a post from: ProPakistani
Retailors charge this money (usually Rs. 1 or Rs. 2) as transaction fee for lesser recharges, in fact they boldly communicate this to customers through notices dispatched to their shop walls. Now this deduction from retailors isn't allowed by cellular companies, as a matter of fact, cellular companies pay these retailors a fixed commission or margin (which is usually 3 to 3.5 percent) for all the balance transfer they make. According to market sources, majority of retailors deduct this small money of Rs. 1 or Rs. 2 for small balance recharges. For instance if a customer asks the retailor to load Rs. 40 then retailer will recharge only Rs. 39, which is unauthorized by the cellular companies. Cellular companies, being the responsible for their sales and distribution network should take necessary action and implement proper check on these retail transactions. Not only this, few retailors, who enjoy monopoly in far flung areas of the country, force customers to recharge only higher value of money. They define a lower limit, which is usually far higher than the official lower limit defined by the cellular companies. A ProPakistani reader, who wanted his name to remain unidentified, wrote to us:

Have you ever recharged your mobile account balance from retailer, If yes, then there are chances that you have have observed the fact that the recharged money in your mobile account is less than you actually paid the retailor. This happens specifically if your recharge value is less than Rs. 50 or in some cases less than Rs. 100.| You are subscribed to email updates from Pro Pakistani To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
