PTA considers cutting voice SIMs per CNIC from five to three
Under the PTA SIM registration rules now being reviewed, the regulator would also raise the data SIM limit for 5G and IoT services. No final policy has been announced.
PTA has begun considering cutting voice SIMs per CNIC from five to three.
The regulator is also weighing a higher limit for data SIMs, which is currently three per CNIC.
A court decision currently allows eight SIMs per CNIC: five voice and three data.
Officials said most users run two or three voice SIMs, so ordinary customers would not be affected.
The final policy will be announced after consultation with mobile operators and telecom companies.
