Biometric Drive Concluded: 27.5million SIMs Blocked
Biometric Verification Drive was extended for 1
more month period that has today been concluded finally by all telecom operators
of Pakistan. The date for the completion of 1st phase of biometric process of
SIMs verification was decided as 26th February, 2015. The initial deadline for
Biometric Verification of SIMs was revised again and set to be 12th April, 2015.
PTA dint stop here and it again extended the BVS date as 12th April, 2015. After
that time period, we got a figure of 26 Million SIMs blocked. This date was
extended one more time dramatically till 15th May, 2015 by interior ministry and
finally we are over with this hide and seek as the period of Biometric SIMs
re-verification is finally over in Pakistan by PTA as well as all mobile telcos.
SimsPK has confirmed and check
with its sources that all unverified SIMs by all telecom operators of Pakistan
have been canceled and disabled. Several media reports stated that during this
drive, that telcos verified around 75.5 million SIMs while another 27.5 million
SIMs were blocked. PTA is not confirming or saying anything in this regard,
therefore we cannot conclude anything at this instant as it would be very early.
PTA just said that official figures will be announced only after a third-party
audit, for which an ad for appointing of this audit organization has already
been suggested. Join our Seo Maseed Facebook page for more
