SIM- Biometric Verification Deadline : Extended to April 14, 2015

[Zyrak]

yes it is necessary and it is to make it sure that any sim is in use of rael owner. otherwise mostly cases are that sim is in name of mr. X and using mr. XYZ

Okay maybe you can help me Faisal

But I posted a thread the topic of which is still there On this forum.

It says has been moved. But what I would like to know is where has it moved to. Because when I click onto it it brings me to this thread.

I can see the similarities maybe but I love how arbitrary Pak wheels has become. It bans comments, moves threads without telling us where it has been moved to. Others have complained to me too about stuff like this on Pakwheels but it seems like this kind of behaviour is here to stay on this forum.

In other message boards they normally tell you where your thread has been moved to.

most probably my above comment will be banned or moved too but anyways

Similar topics or something which is already under discussions are moved or merged. That's why there is redirect on it. Redirect remains there for a week. You click your thread and it takes you there. scroll up on this thread few posts above #59. and you will see it. Don't try to be judgmental. Forum moderators have to organize the forum as well.

Similar topics are OK in non wheel section but the SIM verification is something of serious nature and people have been asking questions almost same. You will get more help here after reading others posts. Or ask some else directly who already have gone through this. On the side note; you can see various threads on ups and solar or anything else like which tablet or iPad to buy .

SIM topic is a serious topic and that's why all information is kept at one place and it's a sticky topic as well.

[rio2]

NO one is being judgmental.
Where does that even come into this.
Expressing my views. Deal with it.

Since you cant handle a person's views dont try to shut them up by accusing them falsely.

Sorry if all this is coming out but am tired of being constantly either having innocent comments banned or the most lame excuses coming up for erasing entire comments.

So again its best you especially true for alot of people in our great country learn to handle a difference of opinion without resorting to cowardly or juvenile tactics such as banning them only because you are a mod or know someone who is a mod.

Let Pak wheels be the free forum for exchange of ideas and advice it first was when it started.

Dont feel the need to comment anymore on this thread

Hello All,

This is in reference to PTA's new verification drive.

IS it necessary for post paid customers to have their fingerprints scanned at the outlet if:

1. you msg 668 and it shows the correct sim registered on your name. why then do you still have to to the outlet to get your fingerprints done. I mean since the sim is gotten against your NIC card which has your finger prints why then do you have to go?

2. I am a post paid customer with the correct registered sim against my name so do i still have to go?

thanks

[Farhansa]

Strange thing happened.
Received a call from an unkown person claiming that this is his number. And now received msg that sim is not in my name. Again received msg that its not biometric verified.
I m using my number since 2005. Dont know why another person is claiming my number,
Ajeb drama ha

[Farhansa]

Your number is not Biometrically Verified. Verify Your number from Telenor Center or Retailer before 26 Feb or it will be blocked as per Government regulations

[himmi_Pak]

Got sim verify from retailer , the carrier sends a confirmation of verification

n in evening sms came that ur sim is not verified.

[Farhansa]

Lot of bugs in system. I checked from 668 that only one telenor sim is in my name. But when i finished bio metrics i received msg from telenor that my number is veried and other number 03454285xxx registered against my name has been removed from my name

[arzaam.bhatti]

many companies may claim to have the best customer service possible but nowhere is a better way to test then in a situation like this and i am sorry to report that mobilink has atlas miserably failed os much that we had to involve the police in this matter.

as i had posted earlier to unknown mobilink sims were coming on our family member's name. and we had went to office couple of times and last time after much argument they gave us a form to fill as evidence and said it will be turned off.

that was done on 20th of jan, after 10 days had passed and taking multiple thumb impressions the sims still hadn't removed from her name.

we again went on 30th and they said too much system load and oh it will be turned of whenever you dont worry. we said how can we not worry as we have n idea where the sims are or how ere they even issues and the most alarming thing is when you call that number you hear and sindhi caller tune so its definitely in use by somebody and maybe in interior sindh, and the person never picks up the ring, and if you call again you get the message that phone has now been switched of, so for all purposes we are worried the sims are bing used for sinister purposed as overtime we call no one picks up and then shuts phone off.

next day she called rescue 15 and police came took her complaint and went to the office, they agreed that this was dangerous as if they were taking so long to deactivate sim anyone can do any wardat in this time. i should point out there was also a wrong sim on name in telenor and they took it off our name within two days so no excuse for mobilink.

so police went to their office and their they confessed that they actually have no authority to turn off sims and thats the job of head office, they cant do nothing!!

so why dont you say this before

now we are convinced that the franchise or whatever people below are having a monopoly in this and selling sims to people fakely or deliberately not turning off.

khair now a trip to head office is in order and ill update you guys with happens.

Sorry to read this ..
Me too had bad experience with Mobilink, once I purchased a SIM from retailer through proper documentation. That SIM never transferred into my name. SIM is still in my use, I tried thrice through Mobilink Main Office, Blue Area. Now I will again check it through Bio-metric system ..

i have some points to add.


1. The CNIC issued between 2001 to 2005 with expiry date beyond 2015 were based on manual finger prints. In 2005 NADRA adopted digital biometrics,. However, any machine readable passports issued between 2005 onwards over the very same CNIC have biometric prints stored in NADRA databse at the time of passport biometrics. Therefore such individuals can verify their sims at respective cell company centres with left or right thumb only. such cnic holders shall kick under belt if losers without taking thumb ask you to get new cnic,


thats what I DID at a frenchise on 02 02 2015 for my prepaid sim of tracker device. with my left thumb i got verification sms before leaving the counter.


2. Users of Prepaid SIMs are under immediate threat of closure which will start from 15 02 2015, intermittent 'sevice black out' by such users will start, and by 26 02 2015 it will become permanant. The biometric verification & reactivtion will continue but service will not be available to non-verified consumers.

1. Post paid individual users with sim in their name but with a corporate identity billing are exempted for Biometric verification. again my few family Numbers does not need biometric verification

you are right, my father had same issue of CNIC they took impression from left thumb and it worked

but also the police 15 and the office were saying sims would not be closed, but any person who would use the sim like make phonecall after expiration of deadline will receive a fine and only then may a individual action be taken against that sim holder, but not all unverified sims would turn off after blanket ban.

thats what the rescue 15 people said anyway in regards to prepaid sims

[capsat]

how would authorities determine if the caller is verified user or non-verified user.

But I respect your trust in Police @arzaam.bhatti

[arzaam.bhatti]
