The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued fresh nationwide guidelines urging citizens to use SIM cards and telecom services responsibly. The move aims to protect Pakistan’s communication infrastructure and prevent misuse.
According to the PTA, all telecom users must ensure that SIMs are registered in their own names. Using a SIM registered under another person’s name is considered a violation of telecom regulations. This rule applies to all mobile and telecommunication connections across the country.
The authority emphasized that the registered user is fully responsible for any illegal, unauthorized, or incorrect use of their SIM or telecom connection. This includes all calls, messages, and data activity conducted on the device. Users cannot transfer responsibility to someone else if their SIM is misused.
The PTA warned that violations of these rules could lead to legal and administrative action. Penalties may be imposed under existing telecom laws if users fail to comply with the regulations.
Officials urged citizens to strictly follow the PTA’s instructions to ensure the safety and stability of national communication networks. Responsible behavior is crucial to protect the telecom system from fraud, misuse, or criminal activities.
The PTA’s new guidelines also reflect ongoing efforts to regulate Pakistan’s telecom sector. Authorities said adherence to these rules would help maintain secure and reliable communication services for all users.
Citizens are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. By using telecom connections responsibly, users contribute to the overall security of the national network.
