PTA CLARIFICATION AFGHAN SIMs:

Apropos to some stories published in a section of press regarding Afghan SIMs, it is clarified that the information contained in these stories is incorrect and inaccurate.  To address the spill over effects of mobile signals at Pak Afghan Border PTA had approached Afghan Embassy in Pakistan through Pakistan Foreign Office in August, 2014.

PTA had proposed a MoU to be signed between two governments to resolve current and any future issues related to mobile phone towers and cross border flow of signals. However, despite several reminders, no response was received until now.

It may also be added that investigations regarding Bacha Khan University attack are underway. It is also to mention that Afghan SIMs can call any number in Pakistan from any part of Afghanistan.
