How it works
Vendors near the Islamabad airport arrivals area sell tourist SIM cards (Jazz, Telenor, Zong) without registering them to the tourist's CNIC or passport as required by Pakistani law, meaning the SIM may be deactivated within days or used for fraudulent activity linked to the tourist's travel profile.
